Association of CRLR with RAMP1 creates the receptor that binds CGRP, whereas its association with RAMP2 or RAMP3 creates the receptor that binds adrenomedullin. Association of CRLR with distinct RAMPs provides the receptor with different pharmacological properties. RAMPs are plasma membrane proteins that have a single transmembrane domain, an extracellular N terminus and an intracellular C-region. ĬTR and CRLR can associate with the receptor activity-modifying proteins (RAMPs), RAMP1, RAMP2 and RAMP3. For example, the CRF1R exists in isoforms identified as CRF-R1α, CRF-R1β, CRF-R1c, CRF-R1d, CRF-R1e, CRF-R1f, CRF-R1g, CRF-R1h, whereas the isoforms of CRF2R are CRF-R2α, CRF-R2β and CRF-R2γ. Parathyroid hormone (PTH) receptors type 1 (PTH1R)Įach of these receptors is present in several different isoforms thus increasing the number of family B GPCRs to more than 15. Pituitary adenylyl cyclase-activating protein (PACAP: PACAP 27, PACAP 38) receptor (PAC1R) Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) receptors type 1 (VPAC1R) Growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) receptor (GHRHR) Glucagon-like peptide 2 (GLP-2) receptor (GLP2R) Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor (GLP1R) ![]() Gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP) receptor (GIPR) The members of the family of B GPCRs are the following:Ĭalcitonin receptor-like receptor (CRLR or CLR)Ĭorticotropin-releasing hormone (CRF) receptors type 1 (CRF1R) Such structural changes are transmitted through the transmembrane domains (TMs) to their cytoplasmic regions and are responsible for receptor interaction with G proteins and activation of the latter, thus resulting in biological responses. Binding of ligands to the extracellular region of family B GPCRs is associated with conformational changes. In addition, these receptors have an extracellular N-domain (or ECD) and an intracellular C-tail. The extracellular loops and the upper parts of the TMs form the J domain of receptors. GPCRs are proteins that span the plasma membrane seven times, thus forming seven transmembrane domains (TM1-TM7), which are connected to each other by three extracellular (EL) and three intracellular (IL) loops. This renders family B receptors important targets for the development of peptide and non-peptide analogues.įamily B of GPCRs belongs to the superfamily of GPCRs, which also includes the families of rhodopsin, glutamate, adhesion and frizzled/taste2 and comprises the largest family of proteins in the human body. Family B GPCRs and the peptides that bind them are involved in a multitude of physiological and pathophysiological conditions. It is also identified as a secretin-like family since the secretin receptor was the first to be cloned. This review summarizes the current information regarding the structure and function of family B GPCRs and their physiological and pathophysiological roles.įamily B of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) consists of 15 members. Activation-associated structural changes of receptors are transmitted through TMs to their intracellular regions and are responsible for their interaction with the G proteins and activation of the latter, thus resulting in a biological effect. This ‘first-step’ interaction orients the N-terminal region of peptides towards the J-domain of receptors, thus resulting in a ‘second-step’ of ligand-receptor interaction that activates the receptor. The C-terminal region of peptides first binds to the N-domain of receptors. The upper parts of the TMs and ELs form the J-domain of receptors. In addition, these receptors have a long extracellular N-domain and an intracellular C-tail. Family B GPCRs are proteins that span the plasma membrane seven times, thus forming seven transmembrane domains (TM1-TM7) which are connected to each other by three extracellular (EL) and three intracellular (IL) loops. Obtaining structural and functional information on family B GPCRs will accelerate the development of novel drugs to target these receptors. Alterations in family B GPCR-regulated homeostatic mechanisms may cause a variety of potentially life-threatening conditions, signifying the necessity to develop novel ligands targeting these receptors. Family B of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and their ligands play a central role in a number of homeostatic mechanisms in the endocrine, gastrointestinal, skeletal, immune, cardiovascular and central nervous systems.
