Vomeronasal 1 receptor 91 (V1R91) activators encompass a variety of chemical compounds that enhance the receptor's functional activity through different mechanisms. Dihydrotestosterone and estradiol are hormones that can influence V1R91 by modulating the hormonal environment of the vomeronasal organ, potentially altering receptor sensitivity or expression. Sodium fluoride and forskolin, by acting as G-protein activators and adenylate cyclase activators respectively, can potentiate the signaling pathways V1R91 relies upon, thus enhancing its activity. Cholesterol contributes to the structural integrity of lipid rafts, which are crucial for the localization and optimal function of G-protein coupled receptors like V1R91. By sustaining these microdomains, cholesterol ensures that V1R91 is presented in a cellular context conducive to its activation.
Furthermore, pregnenolone sulfate and zinc sulfate modify the receptor environment and allosteric sites, respectively, which can potentiate V1R91 signaling. The presence of ATP, as a purinergic receptor ligand, influences the activity of nearby G-protein coupled receptors, potentially leading to enhanced V1R91 signaling through various mechanisms including heterologous desensitization. Piperine's enhancement of ligand bioavailability can increase V1R91 activation by ensuring higher local concentrations of activating molecules. Capsaicin and nicotine, though primarily agonists for other receptor types, can modulate G-protein coupled receptor function, which includes V1R91, by initiating signaling pathway cross-talk that results in enhanced V1R91 activity. Lastly,progesterone, by altering the hormonal milieu, might indirectly support the functional activity of V1R91 by affecting the responsiveness of the receptor within its native cellular environment.
