Abstract excerpt
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) carry out the majority of cellular transmembrane signaling. Many pathologies have underlying GPCR mutations, most of which cause misfolding and GPCR cell surface trafficking failure. Large libraries of existing small molecule GPCR ligands could be repurposed as pharmacological chaperones (PCs) which restore mutant GPCR folding and function, presenting an exciting alternative to...
