What pLDDT means and how to read it

Function

Mast cell-specific G protein-coupled receptor for basic secretagogues, which regulates mast cell degranulation and itch-related hypersensitivity reactions (PubMed:22069323, PubMed:25517090, PubMed:28288109, PubMed:34789874, PubMed:34789875). A secretagogue is an agent that promotes the secretion of hormones, neurohormones, chemical neurotransmitters or other compounds synthesized and secreted by cells (PubMed:25517090). Basic secretagogues comprise a set of cationic amphiphilic drugs, as well as endo- or exogenous peptides, consisting of a basic head group and a hydrophobic core (PubMed:25517090). Ligand binding causes a conformation change that triggers signaling via guanine…
