G protein-coupled receptor family protein( domain architecture ID 705710)
G protein-coupled receptor family protein is a seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptor (7TM-GPCR) family protein which typically transmits an extracellular signal into the cell by the conformational rearrangement of the 7TM helices and by the subsequent binding and activation of an intracellular heterotrimeric G protein; GPCR ligands include light-sensitive compounds, odors, pheromones, hormones, and neurotransmitters

seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptor superfamily; This hierarchical evolutionary model represents the seven-transmembrane (7TM) receptors, often referred to as G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), which transmit physiological signals from the outside of the cell to the inside via G proteins. GPCRs constitute the largest known superfamily of transmembrane receptors across the three kingdoms of life that respond to a wide variety of extracellular stimuli including peptides, lipids, neurotransmitters, amino acids, hormones, and sensory stimuli such as light, smell and taste. All GPCRs share a common structural architecture comprising of seven-transmembrane (TM) alpha-helices interconnected by three extracellular and three intracellular loops. A general feature of GPCR signaling is agonist-induced conformational changes in the receptors, leading to activation of the heterotrimeric G proteins, which consist of the guanine nucleotide-binding G-alpha subunit and the dimeric G-beta-gamma subunits. The activated G proteins then bind to and activate numerous downstream effector proteins, which generate second messengers that mediate a broad range of cellular and physiological processes. However, some 7TM receptors, such as the type 1 microbial rhodopsins, do not activate G proteins. Based on sequence similarity, GPCRs can be divided into six major classes: class A (the rhodopsin-like family), class B (the Methuselah-like, adhesion and secretin-like receptor family), class C (the metabotropic glutamate receptor family), class D (the fungal mating pheromone receptors), class E (the cAMP receptor family), and class F (the frizzled/smoothened receptor family). Nearly 800 human GPCR genes have been identified and are involved essentially in all major physiological processes. Approximately 40% of clinically marketed drugs mediate their effects through modulation of GPCR function for the treatment of a variety of human diseases including bacterial infections.

7 transmembrane receptor (rhodopsin family); This family contains, amongst other G-protein-coupled receptors (GCPRs), members of the opsin family, which have been considered to be typical members of the rhodopsin superfamily. They share several motifs, mainly the seven transmembrane helices, GCPRs of the rhodopsin superfamily. All opsins bind a chromophore, such as 11-cis-retinal. The function of most opsins other than the photoisomerases is split into two steps: light absorption and G-protein activation. Photoisomerases, on the other hand, are not coupled to G-proteins - they are thought to generate and supply the chromophore that is used by visual opsins.

type 2 opsins in animals, member of the class A family of seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptors; This rhodopsin family represents the type 2 opsins found in vertebrates and invertebrates except sponge. Type 2 opsins primarily function as G protein coupled receptors and are responsible for vision as well as for circadian rhythm and pigment regulation. On the contrary, type 1 opsins such as bacteriorhodopsin and proteorhodopsin are found in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic microbes, functioning as light-gated ion channels, proton pumps, sensory receptors and in other unknown functions. Although these two opsin types share seven-transmembrane domain topology and a conserved lysine reside in the seventh helix, type 1 opsins do not activate G-proteins and are not evolutionarily related to type 2. Type 2 opsins can be classified into six distinct subfamilies including the vertebrate opsins/encephalopsins, the G(o) opsins, the G(s) opsins, the invertebrate G(q) opsins, the photoisomerases, and the neuropsins.

orphan G protein-coupled receptor 161, member of the class A family of seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptors; GPR161, an orphan GPCR, is a negative regulator of Sonic hedgehog (Shh) signaling, which promotes the processing of zinc finger protein GLI3 into its transcriptional repressor form (GLI3R) during neural tube development. In the absence of Shh, this proteolytic processing is normally mediated by cAMP-dependent protein kinase A (PKA). GPR161 is recruited to primary cilia by a mechanism depends on TULP3 (tubby-related protein 3) and the intraflagellar complex A (IFT-A). Moreover, Gpr161 knockout mice show phenotypes observed in Tulp3/IFT-A mutants, and cause increased Shh signaling in the neural tube. Taken together, GPR161 negatively regulates the PKA-dependent GLI3 processing in the absence of Shh signal by coupling to G(s) protein, which causes activation of adenylate cyclase, elevated cAMP levels, and activation of PKA. Conversely, in the presence of Shh, GPR161 is removed from the cilia by internalization into the endosomal recycling compartment, leading to downregulation of its activity and thereby allowing Shh signaling to proceed. In addition, GPR161 is over-expressed in triple-negative breast cancer (lacking estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) expression) and correlates with poor prognosis. Mutations of GPR161 have also been implicated as a novel cause for pituitary stalk interruption syndrome (PSIS), a rare congenital disease of the pituitary gland. GPR161 is a member of the class A family of GPCRs, which contains receptors for hormones, neurotransmitters, sensory stimuli, and a variety of other ligands. All GPCRs have a common structural architecture comprising of seven-transmembrane (TM) alpha-helices interconnected by three extracellular and three intracellular loops. A general feature of GPCR signaling is agonist-induced conformational changes in the receptors, leading to activation of the heterotrimeric G proteins, which consist of the guanine nucleotide-binding G-alpha subunit and the dimeric G-beta-gamma subunits.

G protein-coupled receptor 149, member of the class A family of seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptors; GPR149 is predominantly expressed in the ovary and is present at low levels in the brain and the digestive tract (stomach and small intestine). GPR149-null mice are viable and have normal maturation of the ovarian follicle, but show enhanced fertility and ovulation. Additionally, the null mice showed increased expression levels of growth differentiation factor 9 (Gdf9) in oocytes, and upregulated expression of cyclin D2, a downstream target of FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) receptor signaling pathways that promotes granulosa cell proliferation. GPR149 is an orphan receptor with no known endogenous ligand as yet identified. Although categorized as a member of the class A GPCRs, GPR149 lacks the first two charged amino acids of the highly conserved Asp-Arg-Tyr (DRY) motif found in the third transmembrane helix (TM3) of class A receptors which is important for efficient G protein-coupled signal transduction. Moreover, the transmembrane domains and carboxyl terminus of GPR149 show low similarities to other GPCRs. All GPCRs have a common structural architecture comprising of seven-transmembrane (TM) alpha-helices interconnected by three extracellular and three intracellular loops. A general feature of GPCR signaling is agonist-induced conformational changes in the receptors, leading to activation of the heterotrimeric G proteins, which consist of the guanine nucleotide-binding G-alpha subunit and the dimeric G-beta-gamma subunits. The activated G proteins then bind to and activate numerous downstream effector proteins, which generate second messengers that mediate a broad range of cellular and physiological processes.
