Stimulation of the metabotropic GABAreceptor by 纬-aminobutyric acid (GABA) results in prolonged inhibition of neurotransmission, which is central to brain physiology. GABAbelongs to familyC of the G-protein-coupled receptors, which operate as dimers to transform synaptic neurotransmitter signals into a...

Metabotropic GABA B G protein-coupled receptor functions as a mandatory heterodimer of GB1 and GB2 subunits and mediates inhibitory neurotransmission in the central nervous system. Each subunit is composed of the extracellular Venus flytrap (VFT) domain and transmembrane (TM) domain. Here we present ...
The low expression of membrane protein GPCRs, combined with their conformational flexibility, initially posed great challenges for high-resolution diffraction.28The initial crystal structures of rhodopsin and the ligand-activated β2 adrenergic receptor (β2AR) were resolved in 2000 and 2007, respectivel...
22,177 A PAM, such as cinacalcet, targets the calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) and potentiates the response of the receptor to its orthosteric agonist. Conversely, NAM attenuates the response of the receptor to its orthosteric agonist, mavoglurant, which targets the metabotropic glutamate receptor ...

Finally, we highlight how the widespread GPCR-druggable allosteric sites can guide structure- or mechanism-based drug design and propose prospects of designing bitopic ligands for the future therapeutic potential of targeting this receptor family....
