pollutantGPCRs
Pollutant G-protein coupled receptors (pollutantGPCRs) are a class of receptors that are activated by environmental pollutants, playing a crucial role in the cellular response to toxic substances. These receptors belong to the larger family of GPCRs, which are integral membrane proteins that transduce extracellular signals into intracellular responses. PollutantGPCRs are found in various tissues and organs, including the lungs, liver, and brain, and their activation can lead to a range of physiological and pathological effects.
The activation of pollutantGPCRs by environmental pollutants can initiate signaling pathways that alter cellular function. For
The study of pollutantGPCRs is an active area of research, with scientists working to identify and characterize
