Retinoic acid receptor-related orphan receptors (ROR, nomenclature as agreed by the NC-IUPHAR Subcommittee on Nuclear Hormone Receptors [11, 3]) have yet to be assigned a definitive endogenous ligand, although RORα may be synthesized with a ‘captured’ agonist such as cholesterol [68, 67].

Listed in this section are hydrolases not accumulated in other parts of the Concise Guide, such as monoacylglycerol lipase and acetylcholinesterase. Pancreatic lipase is the predominant mechanism of fat digestion in the alimentary system; its inhibition is associated with decreased fat absorption. CES1 is present at lower levels in the gut than CES2 (P23141), but predominates in the liver, where it is responsible for the hydrolysis of many aliphatic, aromatic and steroid esters. Hormone-sensitive lipase is also a relatively non-selective esterase associated with steroid ester hydrolysis and triglyceride metabolism, particularly in adipose tissue. Endothelial lipase is secreted from endothelial cells and regulates circulating cholesterol in high density lipoproteins.

Integrins are unusual signalling proteins that function to signal both from the extracellular environment into the cell, but also from the cytoplasm to the external of the cell. The intracellular signalling cascades associated with integrin activation focus on protein kinase activities, such as focal adhesion kinase and Src. Based on this association between extracellular signals and intracellular protein kinase activity, we have chosen to include integrins in the 'Catalytic receptors' section of the database until more stringent criteria from NC-IUPHAR allows precise definition of their classification.Integrins are heterodimeric entities, composed of α and β subunits, each 1TM proteins, which bind components of the extracellular matrix or counter-receptors expressed on other cells. One class of integrin contains an inserted domain (I) in its α subunit, and if present (in α1, α2, α10, α11, αD, αE, αL, αM and αX), this I domain contains the ligand binding site. All β subunits possess a similar I-like domain, which has the capacity to bind ligand, often recognising the RGD motif. The presence of an α subunit I domain precludes ligand binding through the β subunit. Integrins provide a link between ligand and the actin cytoskeleton (through typically short intracellular domains). Integrins bind several divalent cations, including a Mg2+ ion in the I or I-like domain that is essential for ligand binding. Other cation binding sites may regulate integrin activity or stabilise the 3D structure. Integrins regulate the activity of particular protein kinases, including focal adhesion kinase and integrin-linked kinase. Cellular activation regulates integrin ligand affinity via inside-out signalling and ligand binding to integrins can regulate cellular activity via outside-in signalling.Several drugs that target integrins are in clinical use including: (1) abciximab (αIIbβ3) for short term prevention of coronary thrombosis, (2) vedolizumab (α4β7) to reduce gastrointestinal inflammation, and (3) natalizumab (α4β1) in some cases of severe multiple sclerosis.

Prostaglandin (PG) G/H synthase, most commonly referred to as cyclooxygenase (COX, (5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z)-icosa-5,8,11,14-tetraenoate,hydrogen-donor : oxygen oxidoreductase) activity, catalyses the formation of PGG2 from arachidonic acid. Hydroperoxidase activity inherent in the enzyme catalyses the formation of PGH2 from PGG2. COX-1 and -2 can be nonselectively inhibited by ibuprofen, ketoprofen, naproxen, indomethacin and paracetamol (acetaminophen). PGH2 may then be metabolised to prostaglandins and thromboxanes by various prostaglandin synthases in an apparently tissue-dependent manner.

The zinc-activated channel (ZAC, nomenclature as agreed by the NC-IUPHAR Subcommittee for the Zinc Activated Channel) is a member of the Cys-loop family that includes the nicotinic ACh, 5-HT3, GABAA and strychnine-sensitive glycine receptors [2, 3, 5]. The channel is likely to exist as a homopentamer of 4TM subunits that form an intrinsic cation selective channel equipermeable to Na+, K+ and Cs+, but impermeable to Ca2+ and Mg2+ [5]. ZAC displays constitutive activity that can be blocked by tubocurarine, TTFB and high concentrations of Ca2+ [5]. Although denoted ZAC, the channel is more potently activated by H+ and Cu2+, with greater and lesser efficacy than Zn2+, respectively [5]. Orthologs of the human ZACN gene are present in a wide range of mammalian genomes, but notably not in the mouse or rat genomes. [2, 3].

Taste 2 receptors or Bitter taste receptors (TAS2Rs) are G protein-coupled receptors expressed in oral sensory cells and a variety of non-gustatory tissues. The ~25 human TAS2Rs share low amino acid sequence identities with other GPCR families and are classified as broadly tuned "generalist" receptors with numerous, chemically diverse bitter agonists, as narrowly tuned "specialist" receptors with very few activators, as intermediately tuned receptors with an average number of agonists, or receptors specialized to interact with chemically defined activators [32]. The number of functional bitter taste receptor genes varies among species and orthologues might not be functionally conserved. Due to their expression in various tissues, the signal transduction of TAS2Rs is complex. Some TAS2Rs interact with drugs such as analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial compounds. The specialist database BitterDB contains additional information on bitter compounds and receptors [14].

Neuromedin U receptors (provisional nomenclature as recommended by NC-IUPHAR [30]) are activated by the endogenous 25 amino acid peptide neuromedin U (neuromedin U-25, NmU-25), a peptide originally isolated from pig spinal cord [92]. In humans, NmU-25 appears to be the sole product of a precursor gene (NMU, P48645) showing a broad tissue distribution, but which is expressed at highest levels in the upper gastrointestinal tract, CNS, bone marrow and fetal liver. Much shorter versions of NmU are found in some species, but not in human, and are derived at least in some instances from the proteolytic cleavage of the longer NmU. Despite species differences in NmU structure, the C-terminal region (particularly the C-terminal pentapeptide) is highly conserved and contains biological activity. Neuromedin S (neuromedin S-33) has also been identified as an endogenous agonist [97]. NmS-33 is, as its name suggests, a 33 amino-acid product of a precursor protein derived from a single gene and contains an amidated C-terminal heptapeptide identical to NmU. NmS-33 appears to activate NMU receptors with equivalent potency to NmU-25.
神经质素U受体(NC-IUPHAR[30]推荐的临时命名)被内源性25个氨基酸肽神经质素U (Neuromedin U-25, NmU-25)激活,该肽最初从猪脊髓中分离出来[92]。在人类中,NMU -25似乎是前体基因(NMU, P48645)的唯一产物,具有广泛的组织分布,但在上胃肠道、中枢神经系统、骨髓和胎儿肝脏中表达水平最高。在某些物种中发现了更短版本的NmU,但在人类中没有,并且至少在某些情况下是由较长的NmU的蛋白水解裂解产生的。尽管NmU结构存在物种差异,但c端区域(特别是c端五肽)高度保守,并具有生物活性。Neuromedin S (Neuromedin S-33)也被确定为内源性激动剂[97]。NmS-33,顾名思义,是源自单个基因的前体蛋白的33个氨基酸产物,含有与NmU相同的修饰过的c端七肽。NmS-33激活NMU受体的效力与NMU -25相当。

The G protein-coupled estrogen receptor (GPER, nomenclature as agreed by the NC-IUPHAR Subcommittee on the G protein-coupled estrogen receptor [26]) was identified following observations of estrogen-evoked cyclic AMP signalling in breast cancer cells [2], which mirrored the differential expression of an orphan 7-transmembrane receptor GPR30 [6]. There are observations of both cell-surface and intracellular expression of the GPER receptor [29, 34]. Selective agonist/ antagonists for GPER have been characterized [26]. Antagonists of the nuclear estrogen receptor, such as fulvestrant [11], tamoxifen [29, 34] and raloxifene [25], as well as the flavonoid 'phytoestrogens' genistein and quercetin [18], are agonists of GPER. Reviews of GPER pharmacology have been published [26]. The roles of GPER in (patho)physiological systems throughout the body (cardiovascular, metabolic, endocrine, immune, reproductive) and in cancer have also been reviewed [26, 27, 20, 17, 9]. The GPER-selective agonist G-1 is currently in Phase I/II clinical trials for cancer (NCT04130516).
