Abstract excerpt
Most G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) form di(oligo)-meric structures that constitute signaling and trafficking units and might be essential for receptor functions. Cell responses to complement C5a receptor (C5aR) are tightly controlled by receptor desensitization and internalization. To examine the implication of dimerization in C5aR regulation, we generated an NH(2)-terminally modified C5aR mutant, unable to...
