progress in molecular biology and translational science g protein coupled receptors in health and disease
p g protein coupled receptors gpcrs transduce signals from a diverse array of endogenous ligands including ions amino acids nucleotides lipids peptides and large glycoprotein hormones . they are also responsible for our sensing of exogenous stimuli including photons and odorants . gpcrs regulate almost every aspect of our physiological functions . it is estimated that 40 % to 50 % of currently used therapeutic drugs target gpcrs directly or indirectly . because the current drugs target only a small portion of the gpcrs opportunities for targeting the remaining gpcrs is enormous . this volume reviews the latest developmentsin this rapidly advancing field . br p this series provides a forum for discussion of new discoveries approaches and ideas contributions from leading scholars and industry experts reference guide for researchers involved in molecular biology and related fields
