Project Summary G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) represent the single largest class of druggable targets in the human genome. Of the 390 or so druggable and non-olfactory human GPCRs there exist many which are orphan and/or understudied; we refer to these as “oGPCRs”. Here we will illuminate the pharmacology, signaling pathways, chemical biology, distribution and function of the 143 oGPCRs listed in the RFA. This project seeks to discover and develop specific, community accessible tools— chemical probe molecules and engineered animals—that enable investigators to interrogate the biological functions of oGPCRs. Given the central importance of GPCRs for all areas of biomedical research, illuminating the pharmacology, function, signaling and chemical biology of these oGPCRs will have far-reaching impact for both therapeutics and basic biomedical science.

项目概要 G 蛋白偶联受体 (GPCR) 代表了药物靶标中最大的一类。 人类基因组中有 390 个左右的可药物和非嗅觉的 GPCR。 是孤儿和/或未受研究的；我们将其称为“oGPCR”。 143 个 oGPCR 的药理学、信号通路、化学生物学、分布和功能 该项目旨在发现和开发特定的、社区可访问的工具—— 化学探针分子和工程动物——使研究人员能够审问 鉴于 GPCR 对生物医学所有领域的核心重要性。 研究，阐明这些 oGPCR 的药理学、功能、信号传导和化学生物学将 对治疗学和基础生物医学科学都具有深远的影响。
