Abstract excerpt
The best known family B, or Type II, G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) recognize peptides as ligands. The receptors for corticotrophin-releasing factor, parathyroid hormone and secretin typify this group. However, there are only 15 such GPCRs. Many other receptors share sequence homology and have been assigned to this family. The ten 'Frizzled' and one 'Smoothened' receptors show the lowest sequence homology...
