The Concise Guide To Pharmacology 2021/22: G Protein-Coupled Receptors
The Concise Guide to PHARMACOLOGY 2021/22 is the fifth in this series of biennial publications. The Concise Guide provides concise overviews, mostly in tabular format, of the key properties of nearly 1900 human drug targets with an emphasis on selective pharmacology (where available), plus links to the open access knowledgebase source of drug targets and their ligands (www.guidetopharmacology.org), which provides more detailed views of target and ligand properties. Although the Concise Guide constitutes over 500 pages, the material presented is substantially reduced compared to information and links presented on the website. It provides a permanent, citable, point-in-time record that will s…
Receptor phosphorylation does not mediate cross talk between muscarinic M(3) and bradykinin B(2) receptors.
This study examined cross talk between phospholipase C-coupled muscarinic M3and bradykinin B2receptors coexpressed in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. Agonists of either receptor enhanced phosphoinositide signaling (which rapidly desensitized) and caused protein kinase C (PKC)-independent, homologous receptor phosphorylation. Muscarinic M3but not bradykinin B2receptors were also phosphorylated after phorbol ester activation of PKC. Consistent with this, muscarinic M3receptors were phosphorylated in a PKC-dependent fashion after bradykinin B2receptor activation, but muscarinic M3receptor activation did not influence bradykinin B2receptor phosphorylation. Despite heterologous phosphorylatio…
