Recombinant Human G-protein coupled receptor 39 (GPR39)

1. data indicate that Zn(2+) acting via ZnR/GPR39 has a direct role in controlling Cl(-) absorption via upregulation of basolateral KCC1 in the colon. Moreover, colonocytic ZnR/GPR39 and KCC1 reduce water loss during diarrhea and may therefore serve as effective drug targets. PMID: 28093242
2. G protein-coupled receptor 39 (ZnR/GPR39) was shown to regulate the activity of ion transport mechanisms that are essential for the physiological function of epithelial and neuronal cells [Review]. PMID: 29389900
3. Data suggest that expression of GPR39 undergoes Rho kinase-dependent desensitization following activation by zinc. PMID: 28619258
4. This study demonstrated that zinc upregulates PKCzeta by activating GPR39 to enhance the abundance of ZO-1, thereby improving epithelial integrity in S. typhimurium-infected Caco-2 cells. PMID: 28515165
5. obestatin/GPR39 system in the pathogenesis and/or clinical outcome of human gastric adenocarcinomas and highlight the potential usefulness of GPR39 as a prognostic marker in gastric cancer. PMID: 26716511
6. Chronic administration of many antidepressants induces GPR39 up-regulation, which suggests that the Zn(2+)-sensing receptor may be considered as a new target for drug development in the field of depression. PMID: 25490458
7. Taken together, our results provided a novel regulatory mechanism for GPR39-1b in NTRS1 signaling. PMID: 24512471
8. ZnR/GPR39-dependent expression of tight junctional proteins, thereby leading to formation of a sealed intestinal epithelial barrier. PMID: 24967969
9. Data suggests alterations (down-regulation) of the GPR39 receptor and involvement of CREB-BDNF pathway, possibly triggered by GPR39, as a new pathomechanism of depression PMID: 24333148
10. Zn(2+) -dependent activation of ZnR/GPR39 also enhances the expression of the Ca(2+) -binding protein S100A4 that is linked to invasion of prostate cancer cells. PMID: 24264723
11. GPR39 was present in thyroid autoimmune disease, non-toxic nodular goiter and toxic nodular goiter at band p51(kDa). PMID: 23485550
12. ZnR/GPR39 is tuned to sense physiologically relevant changes in extracellular pH that regulate ZnR-dependent signaling and ion transport activity PMID: 22879599
13. GPR39 activation increased the expression of the anti-apoptotic protein clusterin in butyrate-treated cells. GPR39 mediates Zn2+-dependent cell growth. PMID: 22545109
14. GPR39 plays an important tumorigenic role in the development and progression of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. PMID: 21352519
15. extracellular Zn(2+), either applied or released following injury, activates ZnR/GPR39 to promote signaling leading to epithelial repair PMID: 20522546
16. Data show that Phe-V:13 can serve as an aromatic lock for the proposed active conformation of the Trp-VI:13 rotameric switch, being involved in the global movement of TM-V and TM-VI in 7TM receptor activation. PMID: 19920139
17. GPR39 is probably not the obestatin receptor PMID: 16959833
18. could activate GPR39 by high concentrations of Zn(2+), demonstrating cell surface expression of a functional receptor that could elicit a Ca(2+) response. PMID: 17054911
19. GPR39 functions as a Gq-coupled Zn2+-sensing receptor PMID: 17885920
20. GPR39 protects from cell death by increasing secretion of pigment epithelium-derived growth factor PMID: 18180304
21. It is proposed that Zn2+ acts as an agonist for GPR39, not in the classical manner by directly stabilizing an active conformation of the transmembrane domain, but instead by binding to His17 and His19 in the extracellular domain. PMID: 18588883
