    Applications
    GPR26 is another orphan G-protein coupled receptor that has been studied for its potential roles in various physiological processes. Research has shown that GPR26 can counteract early phases of hyperglycemia-mediated monocyte activation. Its expression is suppressed under chronic hyperglycemic conditions, suggesting a protective role against hyperglycemia. Additionally, targeted inactivation of GPR26 in mice has been linked to hyperphagia and adiposity, indicating its role in energy homeostasis. Given these findings, GPR26 could be a potential target for therapeutic interventions in metabolic disorders and other related conditions.

    What is GPR26 and its relevance in membrane protein research? May 27 2021

    chat Patrick Liam (Creative Biolabs Scientific Support)

    GPR26 is a protein encoded by the GPR26 gene and belongs to the G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) family. It's recognized for its role in numerous therapies for many diseases. GPR26 is particularly noted as a central orphan GPCR, with its endogenous ligand remaining unclear, making it a significant subject in membrane protein research​​. May 27 2021

    What notable activities are associated with GPR26 expression? Jan 01 2020

    chat Patrick Liam (Creative Biolabs Scientific Support)

    GPR26 expression has been linked with antitumor activity in liver cancer cells, as high expression levels and constitutive activity of GPR26 were associated with in vitro and in vivo antitumor activity. Moreover, GPR26's constitutive activity is regulated by ubiquitin-mediated rapid degradation mechanism, which might be critical for its functional regulation in a cellular environment​. Jan 01 2020

    Published Data

    Fig.1 GPR26 protected against the production of free radical oxygen species.

    In investigating the influence of GPR26 on ROS generation triggered by HG, researchers carried out GPR26 depletion in THP-1 cells exposed to NG or HG for various time intervals (24, 48, and 72 h). Their findings affirmed that HG significantly elevated ROS levels in HG-induced THP-1 cells over the full 72-hour period when compared to NG. Intriguingly, the suppression of GPR26 intensified ROS generation in a progressive temporal pattern, thereby amplifying HG-induced ROS production.

    Research Highlights

    Gutierrez-Rojas RA, et al. "Glycine Effect on the Expression Profile of Orphan Receptors GPR21, GPR26, GPR39, ." Life (Basel, Switzerland), 2022.
    The authors conducted a study to investigate the role of orphan receptors GPR21, GPR39, GPR82, and GPR6 in a chronic inflammatory process in 3T3-L1 cells. Adipocytes were stimulated with TNF-alpha as an inflammatory model, and gene expression was measured using RT-qPCR. Results showed a decrease in the expression of GPR21, GPR26, GPR39, GPR82, and GPR6 in response to the inflammatory stimulus. These findings suggest that glycine may modulate GPR21 and GPR82, potentially providing a therapeutic target for conditions associated with chronic inflammation, such as diabetes, obesity, and metabolic syndrome.

    Weible AP, et al. "A genetically identified population of layer 4 neurons in auditory cortex that ." Frontiers in neural circuits, 2022.
    The detection of sound events is a crucial task for the auditory system, which relies on spiking in cortical neurons to achieve this. However, the specific roles of certain cell types and circuits in this process are not fully understood. To address this, a genetically identified population of layer 4 auditory cortical neurons was examined for their involvement in sound detection. Using a Gpr26-Cre driver line, which is predominantly found in layer 4, the researchers measured sound detection using a common variant of pre-pulse inhibition. It was found that photostimulation of these cells, which respond to gaps in noise, was able to reduce the startle reflex. Additionally, photosuppression of these cells resulted in decreased neural responses to gaps and impaired behavioral gap detection. These findings suggest that cortical Gpr26 neurons play a crucial role in top-down modulation of the acoustic startle reflex and are likely involved in sound detection.
