However, one particular difference between class A receptors and class B receptors is an inward shift of the intracellular component of Helix VII. In class A receptors this inward shift is instrumental in receptor activation, yet in class B receptors it remains unclear what role this shift plays. | However, one particular difference between class A receptors and class B receptors is an inward shift of the intracellular component of Helix VII.
