Discovery and Cardioprotective Effects of the First Non-Peptide Agonists of the G Protein-Coupled Prokineticin Receptor-1

Prokineticins are angiogenic hormones that activate two G protein-coupled receptors: PKR1 and PKR2. PKR1 has emerged as a critical mediator of cardiovascular homeostasis and cardioprotection. Identification of non-peptide PKR1 agonists that contribute to myocardial repair and collateral vessel growt...
