Although the role of <scene name='72/721548/E166/ | Although the role of <scene name='72/721548/E166/4'>Glu166</scene> in G-protein activity is not quite as clear as it is for <scene name='72/721548/L310/3'>Leu310</scene> or <scene name='72/721547/Hydrophobic_binding_pocket/5'>Phe358</scene>, substituting this residue for an alanine significantly reduced '''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_site catalytic]''' nucleotide exchange <ref name="SPGP"/>. Glu166 is part of a D/ERY motif that is highly conserved in class A GPCRs and includes Arg167 and Tyr168. To determine a role for Glu166, other class A GPCRs were structurally analyzed. Researchers <ref name="SPGP"/> hypothesize that E166 in NTSR1 interacts with Val102, Thr101,and weakly interacts with His105 to stabilize the G protein. Researchers <ref name="SPGP"/> have also noted the possibility of an important connection between the D/ERY motif and intracellular loop 2, which plays a role in the dissociation of the receptor-G protein complex with GTP present. M181 is believed to link the D/ERY motif and ICL2. <ref name="SPGP"/> | ||
