This project aims to understand the structure and function of the sigma-1 receptor, which is involved in various diseases. By using advanced techniques, it seeks to characterize how this receptor interacts with different ligands, potentially leading to new therapeutic strategies.
The sigma-1 receptor is an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) integral membrane protein receptor is implicated in neurodegeneration, drug addiction, pain, amnesia, depression, Alzeimer’s disease, stroke, retinal neural degeneration, HIV infection, and cancer.
In addition to its endogenous ligands, N,N- dimethyltryptamine (DMT) and the ER chaperone BIP, the sigma receptor binds a wide range of exogenous ligands and therapeutic compounds.
Recent studies demonstrated potent antiapoptotic actions of Sigma-1…
