G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are integral membrane proteins with seven membrane-spanning helices. Upon binding to a ligand – which can range from small molecules like cyclic AMP to ...

"G-protein-coupled receptors are ubiquitous in the function of cells in the body and help us to sense light, flavour and odour. They are also responsible for the human body's reactions to chemicals in ...

A new study in Engineering explores the role of astrocytic G protein-coupled receptors in drug addiction. It shows that these receptors, including ...

A recent study published in Nature by a research team from the United States and China introduced a new class of engineered G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) called programmable antigen-gated ...
