Abstract excerpt
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) form dimeric or oligomeric complexes in vivo. However, the function of oligomerization in receptor-mediated G protein activation is unclear. Previous studies of the yeast alpha-factor receptor (STE2 gene product) have indicated that oligomerization promotes sig...
