The role of G-proteins and G-protein-coupledreceptors in human disease
DOI:
https://doi.org/10.61173/d7dc6a45Abstract
In human diseases associated with G protein, changes in abnormal content and distribution of multiple signaling
molecules and abnormal signaling pathways play critical roles in pathophysiological pathways. Abnormal information
transmission and signaling pathways are common channels in the pathogenesis of G protein diseases. G protein-coupled
receptors (GPCRs) are the largest group of membrane receptor proteins and represent the most common therapeutic
targets for drugs. This paper uses liver injury, blood pressure regulation, Parkinson’s disease, and some cancers to
illustrate the pathogenic mechanism and pathway-related treatment of G-protein and GPCR.
