Novel pathways of G protein-coupled receptor action
FY 2009-10
Summary
Hormone and regulatory signals in the body are mediated by a family of proteins called G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR). These proteins bind signals at the membrane and transduce them to the inside of cells. Current research now suggests that these receptors can behave in different ways and regulate cell function through interactions with other proteins inside the cell. These studies are aimed at furthering our understanding of this behaviour of GPCRs in order to determine what these regulatory circuits are and how they affect cellular function.
