The Multifaceted Mas-Related G Protein-Coupled Receptor Member X2 in Allergic Diseases and beyond
Recent research on mast cell biology has turned its focus on MRGPRX2, a new member of the Mas-related G protein-coupled subfamily of receptors (Mrgprs), originally described in nociceptive neurons of the dorsal root ganglia. MRGPRX2, a member of this group, is present not only in neurons but also in...
