Abstract excerpt
Receptor coupling to different G-proteins and β-arrestins has been described for a number of GPCRs (G-protein-coupled receptors), suggesting a multi-state model of receptor activation in which each receptor can assume a number of different active conformations, each capable of promoting the coupling to a specific effector. Consistently, functional-selective ligands and biased agonists have been described to be...
