Dopamine, a small molecule derived from the amino acid tyrosine, plays a significant role in regulating multiple essential ...

Taste, pain, or response to stress—nearly all essential functions in the human body are regulated by molecular switches called G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). Researchers at the University ...

The DGIST research team is the first to identify "switch proteins," which directly inhibit the function of NMDA receptors, and explain how the related mechanism works. The key clue this research ...

Nervous necrosis virus typically enters host cells via endocytosis, but it can also enter via a process called macropinocytosis.

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are a large family of seven-transmembrane proteins that can be activated by a diverse array of ligands, including hormones, neurotransmitters and sensory stimuli.

Still, researchers have found some intriguing clues as to which species might be the best smeller. One place to look is the ...

Researchers used GPS-like tracking to observe how a key G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) moves, revealing the core mechanism behind vital body functions. G protein-coupled receptors are embedded in ...
