Mutations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) have been linked to a variety of metabolic, neurological and muscular diseases which can present at any time throughout life. MtDNA is replicated by DNA polymerase gamma (Pol γ), twinkle helicase and mitochondrial single-stranded binding

The 5-hydroxytryptamine(7) (5-HT(7)) receptor was originally defined by molecular biology techniques. The 5-HT(7) receptor protein and mRNA are found in brain areas, such as the CA3 subfield of the hippocampus, that are involved in various neuropsychiatric disease states. No functional
We previously reported that the novel dual 5-HT₂B and 5-HT7 receptor antagonist N-(9-hydroxy-9H-fluorene-2-carbonyl)guanidine (4) exerted a suppressing effect on 5-HT-induced dural protein extravasation in guinea pigs. To develop a synthetic strategy, we performed docking studies of lead compound 4 bound

According to early models of GPCR signaling, G proteins only interact with activated receptors. However, some GPCRs were shown to assemble with G proteins before receptor activation, in accordance with more recent models. Previously, we found that the 5-HT7 receptor
Repeated cycles of binge-like alcohol consumption and abstinence change the activity of several neurotransmitter systems. Some of these changes are consolidated following prolonged alcohol use and are thought to play an important role in the development of dependence. We have
