Abstract excerpt
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) mediate a diverse range of physiological functions via activation of complex signaling systems. Organization of GPCRs in to dimers and oligomers provides a mechanism for both signal diversity and specificity in cellular responses, yet our understanding of the physiological significance of dimerization, particularly homodimerization, has not been forthcoming. This chapter will...
