BRS-3 is an orphan G protein coupled receptor highly expressed in the brain. Pharmacological studies in this issue (Guan et al., 2010) further support a role for this receptor in energy homeostasis and show that the BRS-3 agonist Bag-1 effectively causes weight loss by decreasing food intake and increasing metabolic rate.
BRS-3 是一种孤儿 G 蛋白偶联受体,在大脑中高度表达。本期杂志中的药理学研究(Guan 等人,2010)进一步支持了该受体在能量平衡中的作用,并表明 BRS-3 激动剂 Bag-1 通过减少食物摄入和增加代谢率有效地导致体重减轻。
