The sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor 1 (S1P₁) and its ligand, sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P), have now emerged as critical regulators of lymphocyte trafficking, vascular development and integrity, and immunity. S1P₁ is targeted by the phosphorylation product of fingolimod, which has been approved for the treatment of multiple sclerosis. The recent progress in the structural biology of heterotrimeric guanine nucleotide-binding protein (G protein)-coupled receptors has now enabled the elucidation o ...[more]
