G-Protein Coupled Receptor Resensitization - Appreciating the Balancing Act of Receptor Function

Abstract: G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) are seven transmembrane receptors that are pivotal regulators of cellular responses including vision, cardiac contractility, olfaction, and platelet activation. GPCRs have been a major target for drug discovery due to their role in regulating a broad range of physiological and pathological responses. GPCRs mediate these responses through a cyclical process of receptor activation (initiation of downstream signals), desensitization (inactivation that results in diminution of d… Show more

“…This mechanism was initially thought to be involved in regulating the density of the GPCR either by resensitization or by down-regulation [5, 6]. Lately, it has evolved as a major mechanism involved in a variety of physiological responses, such as MAP kinase activation and in sustained signaling by the internalized GPCR to generate unique physiological responses that are different from plasma membrane delimited signaling [7].…”

“…One mechanism involves receptor complex desensitization, for switching off receptor activation at the plasma membrane. However, it should be noted that internalized receptor-effector complexes can engage in signal propagation and that receptor recycling and synthesis is critical for reactivation of signal transmission and oscillations [14,[23][24][25]. Another way to limit the diffusion or abundance of cAMP is achieved by the presence and activation of phosphodiesterases (PDEs) [26][27][28][29][30].…”
