Class B1 G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) represent a significant subgroup of the GPCR family, which play key roles in cellular signaling. These receptors regulate diverse physiological processes, including metabolism, immune responses, and neuroendocrine signaling. Notably, class B1 GPCRs bind peptide hormones and are implicated in various diseases, from metabolic disorders such as diabetes to inflammatory conditions and certain cancers. Understanding the structural and functional dynamics of class B1 GPCRs is essential for the development of targeted therapies and drug design, making them a focus of extensive biomedical research. In this review, we summarize the current information regarding the dynamic structures and functions of class B1 GPCRs, elucidating their crucial roles in various physiological processes and the molecular mechanisms underlying their interactions with ligands. We explore the architectural details of the N-terminal extracellular domain (ECD) and 7-transmembrane domain (TMD), focusing on how these structural elements contribute to the receptor's conformational flexibility. This structural plasticity serves as a target for designing novel therapeutics, allowing for more precise and effective treatment of metabolic, cardiovascular, and neuroendocrine disorders.
B1类G蛋白偶联受体(GPCRs)是GPCR家族的一个重要亚组,在细胞信号传导中起关键作用。这些受体调节多种生理过程,包括代谢、免疫反应和神经内分泌信号传导。值得注意的是,B1类GPCRs与肽激素结合,并与各种疾病有关,从糖尿病等代谢紊乱到炎症性疾病和某些癌症。了解B1类GPCRs的结构和功能动态对于开发靶向治疗和药物设计至关重要,这使其成为广泛生物医学研究的重点。在本综述中,我们总结了有关B1类GPCRs动态结构和功能的当前信息,阐明了它们在各种生理过程中的关键作用以及它们与配体相互作用的分子机制。我们探讨了N端细胞外结构域(ECD)和7跨膜结构域(TMD)的结构细节,重点关注这些结构元件如何有助于受体的构象灵活性。这种结构可塑性作为设计新型治疗方法的靶点,能够更精确有效地治疗代谢、心血管和神经内分泌疾病。
