The MRGPR family of receptors in immunity

Research output: Contribution to journalReview articlepeer-review

Abstract

The discovery of Mas-related G protein-coupled receptors (Mrgprs) has opened a compelling chapter in our understanding of immunity and sensory biology. This family of receptors, with their unique expression and diverse ligands, has emerged as key players in inflammatory states and hold the potential to alleviate human diseases. This review will focus on the members of this receptor family expressed on immune cells and how they govern immune and neuro-immune pathways underlying various physiological and pathological states. Immune cell-specific Mrgprs have been shown to control a variety of manifestations, including adverse drug reactions, inflammatory conditions, bacterial immunity, and the sensing of environmental exposures like allergens and irritants.
