Abstract excerpt
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are integral membrane proteins with seven transmembrane-spanning alpha-helices. Following ligand activation, many GPCRs are rapidly phosphorylated on serine/threonine residues in their cytoplasmic domains, principally the carboxyl-terminus. GPCR phosphorylation recruits arrestin proteins to the activated receptor leading to receptor internalization and desensitization....
