Abstract excerpt
Once internalized, some G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) can recycle back to the cell surface, while some of them are delivered to lysosomes for degradation. Because recycling and degradation represent two opposing receptor fates, understanding the mechanisms that determine post-endocytic fate of GPCRs is of great importance. Our recent work has verified that agonist-induced internalization of delta-opioid...
