G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the targets for many drugs, but the response shows interindividual variability. The 'one-drug-fits-all' approach has been challenged by evidence showing multiple human genetic variants of GPCRs. Identification and characterization of GPCR variants must be undertaken for rational, personalized, and economically sound prescribing practices.
G 蛋白偶联受体(GPCRs)是许多药物的靶点,但个体间的反应存在差异。“一种药物适合所有人”的方法受到挑战,因为有证据表明 GPCR 存在多种人类遗传变异。为了实现合理、个性化和经济合理的处方实践,必须对 GPCR 变异体进行鉴定和特征描述。
