Abstract excerpt
Tripartite G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) represent one of the largest groups of signal transducers, transmitting signals from hormones, neuropeptides, odorants, food and light. Ligand-bound receptors catalyse GDP/GTP exchange on the G-protein alpha-subunit (Galpha), leading to alpha-GTP separation from the betagamma subunits and pathway activation. Activating mutations in the receptors or G proteins...
