Detection of genome‐edited and endogenously expressed G protein‐coupled receptors
G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the largest family of membrane receptors and major targets for FDA‐approved drugs. Quantifying GPCR expression and ligand binding characteristics in different cell types is important for drug discovery. The advent of genome editing and developments in fluorescent ligand design offers exciting possibilities to ...
