Pathophysiology of GPCR Homo- and Heterodimerization: Special Emphasis on Somatostatin Receptors
G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) are cell surface proteins responsible for translating >80% of extracellular reception to intracellular signals. The extracellular information in the form of neurotransmitters, peptides, ions, odorants etc is converted to intracellular signals via a wide var...
