G PROTEIN–COUPLED RECEPTOR KINASES [PDF]
Annual Review of Biochemistry, 1998 G protein–coupled receptor kinases (GRKs) constitute a family of six mammalian serine/threonine protein kinases that phosphorylate agonist-bound, or activated, G protein–coupled receptors (GPCRs) as their primary substrates. GRK-mediated receptor phosphorylation rapidly initiates profound impairment of receptor signaling, or desensitization.

Both Ligand- and Cell-Specific Parameters Control Ligand Agonism in a Kinetic Model of G Protein–Coupled Receptor Signaling [PDF]
, 2007 G protein–coupled receptors (GPCRs) exist in multiple dynamic states (e.g., ligand-bound, inactive, G protein–coupled) that influence G protein activation and ultimately response generation. In quantitative models of GPCR signaling that incorporate these

G-protein coupled receptor structure
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Biomembranes, 2007 Because of their central role in regulation of cellular function, structure/function relationships for G-protein coupled receptors (GPCR) are of vital importance, yet only recently have sufficient data been obtained to begin mapping those relationships. GPCRs regulate a wide range of cellular processes, including the senses of taste, smell, and vision,

A modeling strategy for G-protein coupled receptors
AIMS Biophysics, 2016 Cell responses can be triggered via G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) that interact with small molecules, peptides or proteins and transmit the signal over the membrane via structural changes to activate intracellular pathways.

G Protein‐Coupled receptors and heterotrimeric G proteins as cancer drivers
FEBS Letters, 2020 G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) and heterotrimeric G proteins play central roles in a diverse array of cellular processes. As such, dysregulation of GPCRs and their coupled heterotrimeric G proteins can dramatically alter the signalling landscape and

Regulating G protein-coupled receptors by topological inversion
eLife, 2019 G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are a family of proteins containing seven transmembrane helices, with the N- and C-terminus of the protein located at the extracellular space and cytosol, respectively.
