Rho1 signaling is activated by G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling at the cell surface. The SG receptor that transduces the Fog signal into Rho1-dependent myosin activation has not been identified

GPCR activation typically occurs through the binding of agonists which stabilize receptor conformations binding sites, the inability to target large and diffuse binding sites activated by peptides or proteins Allosteric binding sites on the receptor are those topographically distinct from (do not exhibit any in their orthosteric binding sites, such as chemokine receptors. Agonist binding to GPCRs doesn't always trigger all associated events sequentially.
