Splice variants of G protein-coupled receptors.

Abstract excerpt

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are encoded by a vast gene superfamily, reflecting the large number of ligands that must be specifically recognized at any given cell surface. The discovery that the variety of GPCRs is further expanded through the generation of splice variants was therefore somewhat surprising. Studies of the functional consequences of alternative splicing have focused on ligand binding,...
