Abstract:

Ogerin is a positive allosteric modulator of human and mouse ovarian cancer G protein-coupled receptors (OGR1s). In the present study, we found that ogerin differentially enhances the activation of OGR1 in various animal species. Amino acid residues of OGR1 that are associated with ogerin are conserved among the species. This suggests that other amino acid residues may be involved in the action of ogerin. Chimeric receptors between human and zebrafish OGR1s showed that the amino acid residues that determine the species specificity of ogerin-induced enhancement reside in the transmembrane and/or intracellular regions of OGR1. This result highlights the importance of first verifying the effectiveness of ogerin to the OGR1 of the species of interest at the cellular level prior to analyzing the physiological and pathophysiological roles of OGR1 in the species.
