GPCR Activation and Signaling The dual-function chemokine receptor CCR2 drives migration and chemokine

However only ~15% of the GPCR superfamily has been successfully drugged, due in part to the intractability small molecule modulators of small protein GPCRs, but discovery is challenging and the attrition rate during Both properties enable enhanced ligands to avoid being eliminated during the stringent washing process This leads to strikingly long in vitro receptor occupancy durations (at least seven days), meaning that This is due to their enhanced capacity to drive receptor internalization in a process that pulls the
