G-Protein Coupled Receptors
We work with scientists to design animated presentations that correspond with their research and lecture objectives. Overall our goal is to make science easier to understand and more engaging.
The G Protein Coupled Receptors (GCPR) are commonly known as seven-transmembrane receptors. These g-protein coupled receptors are located in the cell membrane and belong to a large group of cell surface receptors that include 7TM, heptahelical, serpentine, and G protein-linked receptors (GPLR).
6 Major classes of these:
-
Class A (or 1) (Rhodopsin-like)
-
Class B (or 2) (Secretin receptor family)
-
Class C (or 3) (Metabotropic glutamate/pheromone)
-
Class D (or 4) (Fungal mating pheromone receptors)
-
Class E (or 5) (Cyclic AMP receptors)
-
Class F (or 6) (Frizzled/Smoothened)
