Orphan G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are cloned proteins with structural characteristics
common to the GPCRs but that bind unidentified ligands. Orphan GPCRs have been …

The melanin‐concentrating hormone (MCH) system is thought to be an important regulator
of food intake. Recently the orphan G protein‐coupled receptor SLC‐1 was identified as the …

To explore membrane-permeable synthetic inhibitors that discriminate between endogenous
calpain and proteasome in cells, we examined the inhibition profiles against calpain and …
