G-protein Coupled Receptors01:21

G-protein Coupled Receptors

134.9K
G-protein coupled receptors are ligand binding receptors that indirectly affect changes in the cell. The actual receptor is a single polypeptide that transverses the cell membrane seven times creating intracellular and extracellular loops. The extracellular loops create a ligand specific pocket which binds to neurotransmitters or hormones. The intracellular loops holds onto the G-protein.

Drugs Affecting Neurotransmitter Release or Uptake

1.9K
Certain drugs can affect how neurotransmitters called catecholamines, are released or taken back up in the adrenergic neuron. They can have different effects on the body's sympathetic transmission. Reserpine, a natural compound found in the Rauwolfia shrub, blocks a transporter called vesicular monoamine transporter (VMAT), which leads to a buildup of catecholamines in the cell and reduces sympathetic transmission. Another drug called guanethidine works in multiple ways, including blocking...

Drugs Affecting GI Tract Motility: Serotonin Receptor Agonists

1.4K
Serotonin, a crucial neurotransmitter synthesized by enterochromaffin cells, plays a cardinal role in regulating gastrointestinal (GI) motility. With over 90% of the body's total serotonin in the GI tract, its influence on digestive processes is profound. Serotonin is swiftly released upon various stimuli, such as food boluses or certain drugs, triggering intrinsic sensory neurons in the myenteric plexus and extrinsic vagal and spinal sensory neurons. This leads to the activation of the...

Biopsychology serves as a vital bridge connecting the intricate domains of biology and psychology, shedding light on how biological systems influence psychological phenomena. This field scrutinizes the biological substrates of behavior and mental processes, emphasizing the nervous system along with the roles of neurotransmitters, hormones, and genetics. It also incorporates evolutionary perspectives to explain the adaptive nature of mental functions.

Human genetics provides a profound framework for understanding the interplay between genetic predispositions and human psychology. At the heart of this discipline lies the study of how genes influence physical traits, behaviors, and susceptibility to diseases. Each person carries a unique genetic code that subtly or significantly shapes their psychological and behavioral landscape.
The complex relationship between genetics and psychology is observable through common biological components such...

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Neuropharmacology

Background:

  • The serotonin (5-HT)1B receptor is expressed in the central nervous system (CNS), with a homologous receptor in humans.
  • It functions as an auto- or heteroreceptor on serotonergic and non-serotonergic neurons.
  • These receptors are found in specific brain regions, including the ventral pallidum, globus pallidus, substantia nigra, and cerebral cortex.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the localization and function of serotonin (5-HT)1B receptors in the CNS.
  • To understand the role of these receptors in regulating neurotransmitter release.
  • To explore the implication of 5-HT1B receptors in physiological functions and psychiatric diseases.

Main Methods:

  • Ultrastructural analysis to determine receptor localization at the cellular level.
  • Lesion studies, radioligand binding, viral transfection, and anterograde methods to map receptor distribution.
  • Examination of neurotransmitter release in specific neural projections.

Main Results:

  • 5-HT1B receptors are located on nerve terminals, suggesting a role in protein transport to these sites.
  • These receptors regulate the release of various neurotransmitters, including serotonin, GABA, glutamate, and N-acetyl-aspartyl-glutamate.
  • Specific projections, such as caudate putamen to globus pallidus and hippocampus to dorsal subiculum, show 5-HT1B mediated regulation.

Conclusions:

  • Serotonin (5-HT)1B receptors act as terminal receptors involved in modulating neurotransmitter release.
  • Their widespread distribution and regulatory functions suggest a significant role in CNS physiology.
  • Dysregulation or involvement of 5-HT1B receptors is linked to conditions like migraine, depression, anxiety, and drug abuse.
