=== Novel Characteristics ===

The MRGPRX2 receptor shows surprising differences between it and all other previously characterized class A GPCRs including many conserved class A structural motifs which are absent on MRGPRX2. These structural motif differences contribute to a ligand binding site closer to the membrane surface for MRGPRX2 rather than a ligand binding site deep within the helices ('''Figure 3'''). To demonstrate this difference, depth of binding is illustrated by an <scene name='90/904306/Alignment_1/3'>alignment</scene>of MRGPRX2 and [https://proteopedia.org/wiki/index.php/Serotonin_receptor 5-HT2AR], another class A GPCR with more conserved structural motifs.
