G-protein linked receptors, also known as G-protein Coupled receptors, are a family of receptor signal transducers which are involved in signalling pathways within cells [1]. Subtypes, each with an endogenous agonist, are involved in maintaining physiological systems such as rhodopsin in rod cells required for vision [2].
Structure
The structure of these proteins comprises of seven transmembrane helices with an extracellular ligand binding domain and an intracellular G-protein binding domain [3].
