GDNF–Induced Activation of the Ret Protein Tyrosine Kinase Is Mediated by GDNFR-α, a Novel Receptor for GDNF

TL;DR: In this paper, the expression cloning and characterization of GDNFR-α, a novel glycosylphosphatidylinositol-linked cell surface receptor for glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF), was reported.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular Determinants of Vanilloid Sensitivity in TRPV1

TL;DR: Key residues (Met547 and Thr550) in transmembrane regions 3 and 4 of rat and human TRPV1 that confer vanilloid sensitivity, [3H]RTX binding and competitive antagonist binding to rabbit TRpV1 are identified and it is shown that these residues differentially affect ligand recognition as well as the assays of functional response versus ligand binding.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Vanilloid Receptor TRPV1 Is Tonically Activated In Vivo and Involved in Body Temperature Regulation

TL;DR: It is reported that TRPV1 antagonists representing various chemotypes cause an increase in body temperature (hyperthermia), identifying a potential issue for their clinical development and indicating that tonic TRPv1 activation regulates body temperature.
Journal ArticleDOI

Repeated administration of vanilloid receptor TRPV1 antagonists attenuates hyperthermia elicited by TRPV1 blockade.

TL;DR: The in vitro and in vivo characterization of a novel and selective TRPV1 antagonist, AMG 517, and its pharmacology with that of a closely related analog, tert-butyl-2-(6-([2-(acetylamino)-1,3-benzothiazol-4-yl]oxy)pyrimidin- 4-yl)-5-(trifluoromethyl)phenylcarbamate (AMG8163) suggest that
