Since the discovery of the lysophospholipid-sensitive receptor GPR55, hopes have been raised that targeting this G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) may represent a novel approach for the treatment of metabolic disorders. We discuss conflicting evidence surrounding GPR55 physiology and highlight its potential as a novel target for the treatment of obesity and diabetes.
自从发现溶血磷脂敏感受体 GPR55 以来,人们一直希望靶向这种 G 蛋白偶联受体 (GPCR) 可能代表治疗代谢紊乱的一种新方法。我们讨论了围绕 GPR55 生理学的相互矛盾的证据,并强调了它作为肥胖症和糖尿病治疗新靶点的潜力。
