Abstract
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR), also referred to as 7 transmembrane spanning receptors (7TM), constitute the largest superfamily of receptors in vertebrates and invertebrates. These receptors respond to a wide range of signaling compounds such as bioamines, lipids, peptides, hormones, odorants, and even photons. They mediate the majority of cell-to-cell communication in the human body and targets for nearly one third of the prescription drugs on the market.
