The discovery of G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) heteromers has revealed a new level of complexity in their functional characteristics. This review explores a variety of methodologies and live cell ...

A research team of the University Medical Center Mainz has succeeded in observing for the first time how G protein-coupled ...

A GPS-like technique has been used to track G protein-coupled receptor movement, revealing how these essential receptors function. Although G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are crucial to the ...

A recent study published in Engineering delves into the complex mechanisms of drug addiction, highlighting the crucial role of astrocytic G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). This research offers ...

Lefkowitz started to trace cell receptors in 1968. Using radioactivity, he managed to unveil several receptors, including one for adrenalin, the β-adrenergic receptor. His team then extracted the ...

GPCRs are the largest receptor class, affecting almost every aspect of human physiology, with 35% of all approved drugs acting on GPCRs. They regulate sensory and neuronal signaling, as well as a ...
