Abstract:Heterodimerization of G protein-coupled receptor exemplifies that GPCRS can change intracellular signaling that would result from each individual receptor. Yet, how heterodimers affect receptor pharmacology remains unknown. We've demonstrated that agonist-bound C-X-C Chemokine Receptor 4 (CXCR4) and Cannabinoid Receptor 2 (CB2) formed a non-functional heterodimer on the membrane of cancer cells, inhibiting their migratory potential in vitro. The impact on the signaling entities responsible for reduced migratio… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
