Vomeronasal 1 receptor 155 activators encompass a diverse array of chemical compounds that engage with a variety of cellular mechanisms to enhance the functional activity of this G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR). Sodium bicarbonate, by altering extracellular pH, can activate proton-sensitive receptors like Vmn1r155, while divalent cations supplied by calcium chloride and magnesium chloride are integral for GPCR activity, potentially augmenting Vmn1r155 signaling. Transition metals such as zinc, provided by zinc sulfate, can function as allosteric modulators to stabilize the active receptor conformation, enhancing ligand affinityand activation. Potassium chloride, by modulating the membrane potential, may also indirectly promote Vmn1r155 activity by fostering a cellular state conducive to receptor activation.
The modulation of intracellular signaling cascades is another avenue through which Vmn1r155 activators operate. Compounds like forskolin and isoproterenol elevate cAMP levels, which can activate PKA and may lead to the phosphorylation and activation of Vmn1r155, assuming it is coupled to a Gs protein. Sodium orthovanadate inhibits protein tyrosine phosphatases, potentially enhancing tyrosine phosphorylation pathways upon which Vmn1r155 activation might depend. Ionomycin, acting as a calcium ionophore, increases intracellular Ca2+ concentration and can activate calcium-sensitive pathways, potentially influencing Vmn1r155 activity. Similarly, L-Arginine can enhance the production of NO, which activates guanylyl cyclase, possibly affecting Vmn1r155 activation through cGMP-dependent signaling. NAD+ may modulate the receptor's activity indirectly through redox reactions, which are pivotal in GPCR signaling. Finally, piperine's role in inhibiting enzymes that regulate drug metabolism may enhance the bioavailability of Vmn1r155's endogenous ligands, thereby increasing receptor activation.
