Abstract excerpt
GRK-mediated receptor phosphorylation followed by association with β-arrestins has been proposed to be the molecular mechanism involved in the desensitization of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). However, this mechanism does not explain the desensitization of some GPCRs, such as dopamine D3 receptor (D3R), which does not undergo GRK-mediated phosphorylation. Loss-of-function approaches and mutants of dopamine...
