Target Information

Vasopressin V1B receptor expression has been documented in the pituitary, pituitary tumors, pheochromocytoma, breast cancer, and small-cell lung carcinomas.
G-protein Coupled Receptors (GPCRs) comprise one of the largest families of signaling molecules with more than a thousand members currently predicted to exist. All GPCRs share a structural motif consisting of seven membrane-spanning helices and exist in both active and inactive forms.

An array of activating ligands participate in the conformation of GPCRs, leading to signaling via G-proteins and downstream effectors. Ongoing studies have also shown the vast series of reactions involved in the negative regulation of GPCRs, which has significant implications for cellular physiology and pharmacological research.

Two GPCR-targeted pharmaceuticals, Zyprexa (Eli Lilly) and Claritin (Schering-Plough), are notable examples with major market presence in mental health and allergy treatments.
