The Claim

The constitutive activity of GPR35 preferentially activates Gα12 and Gα13 heterotrimers, without activating Gαo, Gq, or G11, and this signaling bias is maintained in both human GPR35a and GPR35b isoforms expressed in human-derived cell lines.

How it works
1 study reviewed
In plain English

The GPR35 protein, when active without external triggers, consistently turns on Gα12 and Gα13 signaling proteins but not Gαo, Gq, or G11, and this pattern is the same in both versions of the human GPR35 protein found in human cells.

See the scientific wording

The constitutive activity of GPR35 is biased toward activation of Gα12 and Gα13 heterotrimers, but not Gαo, Gq, or G11, and this signaling bias is preserved across both human GPR35a and GPR35b isoforms in human-derived cell lines.

Why this might work

The GPR35 receptor is always slightly active even without any drug or signal binding to it, and this constant activity specifically turns on two types of internal signals called Gα12 and Gα13. It never turns on other signals like Gαo, Gq, or G11. This selective activation happens the same way in both versions of the receptor found in humans, and it keeps the lining of the gut tightly sealed by strengthening the connections between cells.

  1. Study: Biased constitutive signaling of the G protein-coupled receptor GPR35 suppresses gut barrier permeability

    Even when no drug is present, the GPR35 receptor naturally activates two specific internal signals (Gα12 and Gα13) but ignores others like Gαo or Gq — and this happens the same way for both versions of the receptor found in humans.
