After RNAi of HLGR2, distinct phenotypes were observed when HLGR2 expression was suppressed, indicating HLGR2 RNAi led to a low pupation rate (45.00%), body malformation, abnormal wing expansion, failed cuticle Conclusion: HLGR2 is essential for the growth and development and wing expansion and maturation in H.

this has the potential to enhance GPCR subtype-selectivity, it also presents a significant challenge when modulators (NAMs), that fully or partially dampen the receptor's functional response to the ligand (Wold, Chen selectivity, which can arise from greater sequence variation in allosteric sites among receptor subtypes when This is particularly important when dealing with receptor subtypes that exhibit significant similarity substantial doses of allosteric modulators with a diminished risk of target-related toxicity (Wold, Chen
