2003 NOV 7 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Researchers study global analysis of G-protein-coupled receptor signaling in human tissues.
"The G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) family mediates a host of cell-cell communications upon activation by diverse ligands," investigators in the United States report.
"Numerous GPCRs have been shown to display anatomically selective patterns of gene expression, however, our understanding of the complexity of GPCR signaling within human tissues remains unclear," wrote Y. Hakak and colleagues, Arena Pharmaceuticals.
"In an effort to characterize global patterns of GPCR signaling in the human body, microarray ...
