Research: CANCER Folding Project #12017

Project #12017 overview

Project Summary AI Beta

Class A GPCRs are important because they control many things in our bodies, like how we feel and stay healthy. They act like messengers inside our cells. This project relates to understanding how these messengers work so we can create better medicines for diseases like cancer, diabetes, depression, and anxiety.

Official Project Description

Class A GPCRs: Class A GPCRs are pivotal drug targets in our body, as they are involved in regulating almost all homeostatic processes in the human body.

It is estimated that around 35% of all drugs currently approved by the FDA target one of these GPCRs.

These proteins act like 'molecular telephones' and transmit signals from outside the cell to inside the cell.

Here, we aim to study the process that underlies their action on our body.

This is integral for providing insights into the protein's function and design better and new drugs targeting cancer, diabetes, depression and anxiety.
