Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Biochemistry

Ralf Jockers mainly focuses on Receptor, G protein-coupled receptor, Melatonin, Endocrinology and Internal medicine. His Receptor research is classified as research in Biochemistry. His work deals with themes such as Biophysics, Protomer and G protein, which intersect with G protein-coupled receptor.

His Melatonin study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Central nervous system, Neuroprotection and Cell biology. His work in Endocrinology tackles topics such as Genetics which are related to areas like Type 2 diabetes. In his work, Ganglion and Retina is strongly intertwined with Retinal, which is a subfield of Internal medicine.

His most cited work include:

  • G Protein–Coupled Receptor Oligomerization Revisited: Functional and Pharmacological Perspectives (378 citations)
  • Rare MTNR1B variants impairing melatonin receptor 1B function contribute to type 2 diabetes (271 citations)
  • Rare MTNR1B variants impairing melatonin receptor 1B function contribute to type 2 diabetes (271 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Ralf Jockers focuses on Receptor, Melatonin, G protein-coupled receptor, Endocrinology and Internal medicine. His work carried out in the field of Receptor brings together such families of science as Signal transduction, Cell biology and Bioinformatics. The Signal transduction study combines topics in areas such as Neuroscience and Membrane protein.

Ralf Jockers interconnects Pharmacology and Circadian rhythm in the investigation of issues within Melatonin. In G protein-coupled receptor, Ralf Jockers works on issues like Biophysics, which are connected to Förster resonance energy transfer. His studies in Type 2 diabetes integrate themes in fields like Genome-wide association study and Melatonin receptor 1B.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Receptor (114.61%)
  • Melatonin (76.95%)
  • G protein-coupled receptor (78.25%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Receptor (114.61%)
  • Melatonin (76.95%)
  • G protein-coupled receptor (78.25%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Ralf Jockers focuses on Receptor, Melatonin, G protein-coupled receptor, Melatonin receptor and Cell biology. His research integrates issues of Endocrinology, Signal transduction and Glucose homeostasis in his study of Receptor. His Melatonin research includes themes of Diabetes mellitus, Pharmacology, Bioinformatics and Circadian rhythm.

His G protein-coupled receptor research incorporates themes from Integral membrane protein, Biophysics, Orphan receptor, Protein structure and Melatonin binding. His study in Melatonin receptor is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both GPR62, Proximity ligation assay and Ligand. Ralf Jockers has researched Cell biology in several fields, including HEK 293 cells, Inverse agonist and Biochemistry.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Update on melatonin receptors: IUPHAR Review 20. (158 citations)
  • Dual role of mitochondria in producing melatonin and driving GPCR signaling to block cytochrome c release (141 citations)
  • Dual role of mitochondria in producing melatonin and driving GPCR signaling to block cytochrome c release (141 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Amino acid

His primary scientific interests are in Melatonin, G protein-coupled receptor, Receptor, Melatonin receptor and Cell biology. His Melatonin study deals with the bigger picture of Internal medicine. His G protein-coupled receptor study is concerned with Signal transduction in general.

The various areas that Ralf Jockers examines in his Receptor study include Cytochrome c, Intracellular organelle and Obesity. His studies deal with areas such as Type 2 diabetes, Pineal gland and Pharmacology as well as Melatonin receptor. His Calcium signaling, Mitochondrion and G protein study in the realm of Cell biology connects with subjects such as Endogenous agonist.
