g-protein coupled receptor 20

Palmitic acid-13C (C1, C2, C3, and C4 labeled) is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of palmitic acid by GC- or LC-MS. Palmitic acid is a common 16-carbon saturated fat that represents 10-20% of human dietary fat intake and comprises approximately 25 and 65% of human total plasma lipids and saturated fatty acids, respectively.1,2Acylation of palmitic acid to proteins facilitates anchoring of membrane-bound proteins to the lipid bilayer and trafficking of intracellular proteins, promotes protein-vesicle interactions, and regulates various G protein-coupled receptor functions.1Red blood cell palmitic acid levels are increased in patients with metabolic syndrome compared to patients without metabolic syndrome and are also increased in the plasma of patients with type 2 diabetes compared to individuals without diabetes.3,4 1.Fatima, S., Hu, X., Gong, R.-H., et al.Palmitic acid is an intracellular signaling molecule involved in disease developmentCell.

AAA is an antagonist of G protein-coupled receptor 75 (GPR75).1It increases basal GPR75 protein levels and inhibits 20-HETE-induced reductions in GPR75 protein levels in PC3 cells. AAA (5 and 10 μM) also reduces 20-HETE-induced phosphorylation of EGFR, NF-κB, and Akt in, and cell migration of, PC3 cells.In vivo, AAA (10 mg/kg per day) reduces systolic blood pressure, albuminuria, renal angiotensin II levels, and cardiac hypertrophy in a Cyp1a1-Ren-2 transgenic rat model of malignant hypertension when administered prior to induction or after establishment of hypertension.2 1.Cárdenas, S., Colombero, C., Panelo, L., et al.GPR75 receptor mediates 20-HETE-signaling and metastatic features of androgen-insensitive prostate cancer cellsBiochim.

TPα and TPβ are two isoforms of the human TP receptor, the G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) that mediates the actions of thromboxane A2 (TXA2). Although their distinct physiological functions have not been fully elucidated, TPβ is believed to be responsible for vascular endothelial growth factor-induced endothelial cell differentiation and migration whereas TPα appears to be the predominant isoform expressed in platelets. CAY10535 is a TP receptor antagonist that shows ~20-fold selectivity for TPβ (IC50 = 99 nM) relative to TPα (IC50 = 1,970 nM) in the inhibition of U46619-mediated Ca2+ mobilization. This compound exhibits relatively poor activity on platelets (IC50 = 985 nM) when inhibiting U-46619-induced platelet aggregation.

The prostaglandin E receptor 4 (EP4) is one of four G protein-coupled receptors that mediate the actions of prostaglandin E2 . Binding of PGE2 to the EP4 receptor causes an increase in intracellular cyclic AMP, which plays important roles in bone formation and resorption, cancer, and atherosclerosis. KMN-80 is a substituted γ-lactam (pyrrolidinone) derivative of PGE1 that acts as a selective and potent agonist of EP4 with an IC50 value of 3 nM (IC50 = 1.4 μM for EP3 and > 10 μM for all other prostanoid receptors). In functional assays it has been shown to stimulate secreted alkaline phosphatase gene reporter activity in EP4-transfected HEK293 cells with an EC50 value of 0.19 nM, demonstrating >5,000 and 50,000-fold selectivity against EP2 and TP, respectively. KMN-80 can induce the differentiation of bone marrow stem cells from both young and aged rats into osteoblasts in vitro (EC50s = 20 and 153 nM, respectively) and exhibits favorable tolerability up to at least 10 μM, whereas the EP4 agonist L-902,688 is highly cytotoxic at similar concentrations in these cells. KMN-80 has been used to repair calvarial defects in an in vivo rat craniomaxillofacial reconstruction model (rate of reduction in defect size equivalent to BMP-2 treated rats) and to promote bone formation in a rat incisor tooth socket model.

Apelin-36(human) TFA 是一种内源性孤儿 G 蛋白偶联受体 APJ 激动剂，EC50为 20 nM。Apelin-36(human) TFA 对 HEK 293 细胞表达的人 APJ 受体有很高的亲和力 (pIC50=8.61)。Apelin-36(human) TFA 与两种主要的生物活性有关：心血管和代谢。Apelin-36(human) TFA 抑制 HIV-1和 HIV-2进入表达 APJ 的 NP2 CD4细胞。

Proadrenomedullin N-terminal 12 peptide (PAMP-12) 是一种内源性肽段，源自人体肾上腺髓质，对应人类PAMP-20的9-20氨基酸，涉及降低血压。它是MAS相关G蛋白偶联受体家族成员X2 (MRGPRX2) 的激动剂。在表达人MRGPRX2的CHO细胞中，PAMP-12抑制forskolin诱导的cAMP积累（EC50 = 57.2 nM），特异性诱导表达MRGPRX2的CHO细胞的钙离子动员（EC50 = 41 nM），而在表达MRGPRX1、MRGPRX3或MRGPRX4的细胞中则无此效应（在1 µM浓度下）。PAMP-12还能作为烟碱型乙酰胆碱受体（nAChRs）的拮抗剂，抑制carbachol诱导的儿茶酚胺释放（IC50 = 1.3 µM）及钙和钠的流入（IC50分别为0.39 µM和0.87 µM），但不抑制组胺诱导的儿茶酚胺释放或钙和钠的流入（IC50 >1 µM），在初级牛肾上腺嗜铬细胞中有此表现。当以10至50 nmol/kg剂量给予正常血压大鼠时，PAMP-12能降低平均动脉血压。
