G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the largest family of membrane-bound receptors
and also the targets of many drugs. Understanding of the functional significance of the wide …

G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) are involved in directly and indirectly controlling an
extraordinary variety of physiological functions. Their key roles in cellular communication …

The mammalian cerebral cortex is characterized by complex patterns of anatomical and
functional areas that differ markedly between species, but the molecular basis for this …

Background G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the largest and most diverse family of
transmembrane receptors. They respond to a wide range of stimuli, including small peptides …

In the developing forebrain, the migration and positioning of neural progenitor cells (NPCs)
are regulated coordinately by various molecules. Mutation of these molecules, therefore …

By means of a variety of intracellular scaffolding proteins, a vast number of heterotrimeric G
protein–coupled receptors (GPCRs) may achieve specificity in signaling through a much …

In mammalian and amphibian oocytes, the meiotic arrest at the G2/M transition is dependent
on cAMP regulation. Because genetic inactivation of a phosphodiesterase expressed in …

It is reasonable to propose that gene expression profiles of purified stem cells could give
clues for the molecular mechanisms of stem cell behavior. We took advantage of cDNA …

GPR56 (also known as TM7XN1) is a newly discovered orphan G-protein-coupled receptor
(GPCR) of the secretin family that has a role in the development of neural progenitor cells …

Human epididymal protein 6 (HE6; also known as GPR64) is an orphan member of the LNB-
7TM (B2) subfamily of G-protein-coupled receptors. Family members are characterized by …
