[https://proteopedia.org/wiki/index.php/G_protein-coupled_receptors G-protein coupled receptors](GCPRs) are a large family of cell surface membrane proteins. Once bound to a wide variety of extracellular ligands, GCPRs undergo a conformational change and relay information to intracellular secondary messengers¹. This G protein activation results in a cellular response dependent on the ligand bound and location of the GPCR in the body. GCPRs can be broken down into five families: the rhodopsin family (class A, 701 members), the secretin family (class B, 15 members), the adhesion family (24 members), the glutamate family (class C, 15 members), and the frizzled/taste family (class F, 24 members)². All of the families have a similar transmembrane (TM) domain consisting of seven ɑ-helices complexed with intracellular G proteins. | |||
