research Insights learned from L457(3.43)R, an activating mutant of the human lutropin receptor
The L457(3.43)R mutation in the human lutropin receptor causes increased activity and hormone insensitivity, leading to precocious puberty.
research Glyburide blocks the relaxation response to BRL 34915 (cromakalim), minoxidil sulfate and diazoxide in vascular smooth muscle.
research P.1.g.019 RY-023, an inverse agonist at alpha5 GABAA receptors: the influence on spatial memory and spontaneous locomotor activity
RY-023, a specific drug, can improve early stage memory learning without affecting general activity in rats, but it's less effective for later learning stages and doesn't impact memory recall.
research Minireview: vitamin D receptor: new assignments for an already busy receptor. - eScholarship
The vitamin D receptor has many roles in the body beyond managing calcium, affecting the immune system, hair growth, muscles, fat, bone marrow, and cancer cells.
