Banerjee, Monimoy (2011-08-04)

PDZ domains are one of the most ubiquitous protein-protein interaction modules found in living systems. The glutaminase interacting protein (GIP), also known as the Tax interacting protein 1 (TIP-1), is a PDZ domain ...

Human melanocortin-3 receptor: structure-function relationship of DPLIY motif and helix 8 and biased signaling

Yang, Zhao (2016-05-05)

The melanocortin-3 receptor (MC3R) is a member of family A G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). The MC3R remains the most enigmatic of the melanocortin receptors with regard to its physiological functions, especially the ...

Human melanocortin-4 receptor: structure-function relationship of transmembrane domain 3 and biased signaling

Mo, Xiu-Lei (2013-07-15)

The melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) is a G protein-coupled receptor critical for maintaining energy homeostasis. Transmembrane domain 3 (TM3) of MC4R contains residues that are suggested to be essential in ligand binding ...
