Abstract excerpt
G protein-coupled receptors identified so far are classified into at least three major families based on their amino acid sequences. For the family of receptors homologous to rhodopsin (family 1), the G protein activation mechanism has been investigated in detail, but much less for the receptors of other families. To functionally compare the G protein activation mechanism between rhodopsin and metabotropic...
