Dear Editor,G protein-coupled receptors(GPCRs)play a vital role in regulating almost every aspect of human physiology,making up more than one-third of marketed drug targets(Santos et al.,2017).GPCRs orchestrate their ...
Recent in vitro studies highlighted G protein-coupled receptor kinase(GRK)2 andβ-arrestins as important players in driving somatostatin receptor(SSTR)desensitization and trafficking.Our aim was to characterize GRK2 ...
