Cell behaviour is regulated by myriad external stimuli that act through specialized receptor proteins at the cell surface. G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the largest family of receptors and ...

Pancreatic cancer researchers have shown, for the first time, that blocking a receptor of a key hormone in the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) reduces cancer cell growth by activating the enzyme AMPK ...

The group of Prof. Dr. Ralf Erdmann at the Ruhr-Universität Bochum (Faculty of Medicine, Department of Systems Biochemistry) discovered a connection of peroxisomal protein import and receptor export.

Background The risks associated with using an angiotensin-converting-enzyme (ACE) inhibitor and an angiotensin-receptor blocker together are unclear. This study was designed to determine the safety of ...

The true test of understanding a reaction is creating an enzyme from scratch to catalyze it. Biochemists at Duke University Medical Center now have shown that they can turn a protein having no ...

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have identified two specific receptor proteins in the brain that, when activated, boost the organ’s built-in ability to break down the amyloid-beta plaques ...
