  It has been reported that the pathway upstream of YAP phosphorylation is operative in a tissue or context-specific manner. LPA or S1P bound to their corresponding membrane GPCRs and act through Rho GTPases to activate YAP/TAZ [11]. Consistently, another report showed that activation of PAR1 (a GPCR)

  Results of studies on fish FBPase are somewhat confusing: although fishes skeletal muscles possess relatively high FBPase activity (Knox et al., 1980, Lushchak et al., 2001) and the isozyme present therein has kinetic properties typical to all vertebrates muscle FBPases (Rosenmann et al., 1977), inv

  Accumulating evidence suggests an important role for endothelin ETB receptors in renal homeostasis. ETB receptors promote vasodilation, natriuresis, and diuresis (Davenport and Maguire, 2011) and maintain renal perfusion via counterbalancing the effects of vasoconstrictors and regulation of water re

  It was then found that TAZ, a YAP holomog, binds heteromeric SMAD2/3–4 complexes in a TGF-ß-dependent fashion, and is recruited to TGFβ response elements (Varelas et al., 2008). Knockdown experiments identified TAZ as critical for nuclear accumulation of SMAD2/3/4 complexes in response to TGF-ß, and

  Introduction Marijuana remains the most widely used illegal drug (Murray et al., 2007), and its validated targets include plasma membrane cannabinoid receptors, many of which are found in the central nervous system. The diverse physiological effects produced by marijuana and cannabinoid ligands s

  Discovery of GPR109A The murine niacin receptor, protein upregulated in macrophages by interferon-γ (PUMA-G), was identified as a G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) expressed in adipocytes and spleen [22], [23]. This finding suggested a role of this receptor in macrophage function [24]. In 2003, t

  In this review, we aim to provide a comprehensive understanding of: 1) how AT-resident CD4+ T cell subpopulations regulate the metabolic status of AT; and 2) how adipocytes as antigen presenting cells to modulate the activities of CD4+ T cell subpopulations in AT. Under condition with obesity, ad

  Introduction Glycine (Fig. 1; 1) has two pivotal functions as neurotransmitter in the central nervous system (CNS). Firstly, it can act as an inhibitory neurotransmitter at inhibitory glycinergic synapses where it binds to the strychnine-sensitive glycine-A binding site on glycine receptors (GlyR)

  Molecular dynamics studies have proved an effective means of characterising transition state pathways between the inward- and outward-facing states, and providing the relative propensity for each state. For example, long-timescale simulations of the membrane-embedded LeuT dimer, totalling ∼21 μs, ha

  It is important to control hyperglycaemia because it can contribute to serious complications. Hyperglycaemia can be managed by maintaining stable blood glucose levels inside the normal range. This can be achieved by various strategies such as diet, medications and exercise (O’Keefe & Bell, 2007). Se

  Consistent with recent independent studies, we confirm that the GCG-induced increase in oxygen consumption is only partially blunted in Fgf21−/− mice [32], implicating additional GCGR-dependent mechanisms contributing to the acute GCG-dependent enhancement of energy expenditure. Notably, glucagon ad
