GPCRs undergo a conformational change in their 7TMD region upon ligand binding. This signal is then transduced to the G-protein allowing for downstream responses due to <scene name='90/904306/Interface_2/1'>interactions</scene> between the alpha subunit of the G-protein and the transmembrane protein which activates g-protein by GTP exchange. | GPCRs undergo a conformational change in their 7TMD region upon ligand binding.

The culmination of different motifs observed in MRGPRX2 compared to other class A GPCRs leads to external membrane ligand binding. The MRGPRX2 GPCR undergoes a much smaller conformational change upon ligand binding compared to other Class A GPCRs due to surface level binding versus deep helix binding ('''Figure 9'''). | The culmination of different motifs observed in MRGPRX2 compared to other class A GPCRs leads to external membrane ligand binding.
