In vivo Characterization of a Selective, Orally Available, and Brain Penetrant Small Molecule GPR139 Agonist
Recently, our group along with another demonstrated that GPR139 can be activated by L-phenylalanine (L-Phe) and L-tryptophan (L-Trp) at physiologically relevant concentrations. GPR139 is discretely expressed in brain, with highest expression in medial habenula. Not only are the endogenous ligands ca...
