Insulin Action under Arrestin [PDF]
Insulin signaling is key to the etiology of metabolic syndrome. Recent work (Luan et al., 2009) uncovers a role for beta-arrestin, previously known to control GPCR desensitization, in insulin signaling. In mouse models, beta-arrestin-2 controls whole-body insulin action by regulating assembly of a complex containing insulin receptor, c-Src, and Akt.

DEER Analysis of GPCR Conformational Heterogeneity
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) represent a large class of transmembrane helical proteins which are involved in numerous physiological signaling pathways and therefore represent crucial pharmacological targets.

QR code model: a new possibility for GPCR phosphorylation recognition
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the largest family of membrane proteins in the human body and are responsible for accurately transmitting extracellular information to cells. Arrestin is an important member of the GPCR signaling pathway.

Orexin-Corticotropin-Releasing Factor Receptor Heteromers in the Ventral Tegmental Area as Targets for Cocaine [PDF]
Release of the neuropeptides corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) and orexin-A in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) play an important role in stress-induced cocaine-seeking behavior.

β‐arrestin‐biased ACKR3 Promotes Gαi:β‐arrestin Complex Formation
Atypical chemokine receptor 3 (ACKR3)—previously known as CXC‐chemokine receptor 7 (CXCR7)—is involved in a wide range of physiological processes including angiogenesis, neuronal development, and tumorigenesis. As a β‐arrestin biased G protein‐coupled receptor (GPCR), ACKR3 recruits β‐arrestin, but lacks G protein activity.

PTEN controls glandular morphogenesis through a juxtamembrane β-Arrestin1/ARHGAP21 scaffolding complex [PDF]
PTEN controls three-dimensional (3D) glandular morphogenesis by coupling juxtamembrane signalling to mitotic spindle machinery. While molecular mechanisms remain unclear, PTEN interacts through its C2 membrane-binding domain with the scaffold protein β ...
