MRGPR

MRGPR ligands act on Mas-related G protein-coupled receptors found on sensory neurons and mast cells. Mas-related G protein-coupled receptors (MRGPRs) were described in 2001 as a large family expressed in subsets of nociceptive sensory neurons. In 2009, mouse Mrgprs were shown to act as itch receptors that mediate chloroquine-induced pruritus. A 2015 study linked the mast cell receptor Mrgprb2, the mouse ortholog of human Mas-related G protein-coupled receptor X2 (MRGPRX2), to pseudo-allergic drug reactions. Most compounds here act on MRGPRX2, including the antagonists Z-3578 and BER-5 and the agonist PAMP-12 (unmodified). ML382 acts on the related receptor Mas-related G protein-coupled receptor X1 (MRGPRX1) as a positive allosteric modulator. BAM(8-22), a bovine adrenal medulla peptide fragment, also activates MRGPRX1.

    PAMP-12 (unmodified)

    PAMP-12 (unmodified) is an endogenous peptide that acts as an agonist for the MrgX2 receptor. It effectively reduces cAMP accumulation, elevates intracellular Ca2+ levels, enhances beta-arrestin recruitment, decreases IP-1, and increases phosphorylated ERK (phospho-ERK). PAMP-12 (unmodified) induces hypotension by inhibiting catecholamine secretion from sympathetic nerve endings and adrenal chromaffin cells. This reagent is suitable for research applications focused on hypotension and ulcerative colitis.
