The <scene name='72/721538/Helix_i/14'> | The tip of Helix I extends above the cell membrane into the extracellular space creating a <scene name='72/721538/Helix_i/14'> stalk region</scene>. This region is longer than any other class of GPCR and extends 3 α-helical turns above the plane of the membrane.
