Generic protein structure example

G-protein coupled receptor 139 (GPC139) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GPR139 gene.[1][2] Research has shown that mice with loss of GCP139 experience schizophrenia-like symptomatology that is rescued with the dopamine receptor antagonist haloperidol and the μ-opioid receptor antagonist naltrexone.[3][4]

Ligands

Agonists
  • Zelatriazin (TAK-41), (NBI-1065846) a potent, and GPR139 receptor selective agonist [5] which was in clinical trials to gauge the efficacy for treating psychiatric conditions such as major depressive disorder and the negative symptoms of schizophrenia, but was later dropped from development.
