Funded Activity Summary

How do signals cross the cell membrane: the betacommon receptor family. This project aims to unravel missing molecular details of how a family of proteins, called the betacommon receptors, is able to signal across cell walls. This project aims to generate new knowledge about how membrane-bound receptors transmit biological signals in living organisms. Despite their fundamental importance in biology, how these proteins work remain enigmatic. Expected outcomes include discovery of novel mechanisms general to these types of protein receptors and fundamental insights in understanding vital physiological processes across all kingdoms of life. Ultimately, this new knowledge should benefit efforts to discover novel treatments in cases where malfunctioning receptors cause diseases in animals and humans.
