=====NPxxY Motif=====
=====NPxxY Motif=====
The residues in the <scene name='90/904306/Npxxy_motif/5'>NPxxY motif</scene> are pivotal for receptor activation in all Class A GPCRs. This motif is conserved in the MRGPRX2 receptor with residues Val-231, Asp-75, Asn-275, and Tyr-279.

=====CWxP Motif=====
=====CWxP Motif=====
The <scene name='90/904306/Cpxw_motif_2/2'>CWxP motif</scene> is almost fully conserved except for Trp-236, or the toggle switch, which is replaced with Gly-236. Cys-235, Leu-237, and Pro-238 are all conserved. Cys6.47 may play a fundamental role in GPCR activity by participating in the rearrangement of TM6 and TM7 upon receptor activation<ref name="Olivella>PMID:23497259</ref>. This residue's role is supported by its conservation in MRGPRX2 as it is a functional GPCR.
