- Unveiling GPCR Priming: The Hidden Synergy in Cellular Signalling
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are a vast family of membrane-bound proteins crucial for transmitting the initial GPCR-G protein association step, ensuring precise downstream signalling activation. Traditionally, it was believed that GPCRs selectively activate only their cognate G protein subtypes, typically necessary for G protein activation. prepare the GPCR in a manner that optimizes subsequent cognate G protein activation.
