With respect to GPCRs, I'm particularly interested in peptide/small protein receptors and the mechanisms With a special emphasis on G protein coupled receptors and receptor activity modifying proteins in vascular motivated behavior and how these receptors can be targeted for therapeutic benefit. These ligands stimulate receptor β-arrestin recruitment without activating canonical G protein signaling Because BAMs engage less well-conserved allosteric sites and exert pathway-specific effects on receptor
