Full-length human GLP-1 receptor structure without orthosteric ligands

Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) plays an important role in glucose homeostasis and treatment of type 2 diabetes. Here authors report the peptide-free crystal structure of human GLP-1R in an inactive state which reveals a unique closed conformation of the extracellular domain.
