G protein (plural G proteins)
(biochemistry) Any of a class of proteins, found in cell membranes, that pass signals between hormone receptors and effector enzymes
G-protein (plural G-proteins)
Alternative spelling of G protein
G-protein
Activation of adenylate cyclase ends when the G protein returns to the GDP -bound state. Source: Internet
Chemotaxis related migratory responses Receptors In general, eukaryotic cells sense the presence of chemotactic stimuli through the use of 7-transmembrane (or serpentine) heterotrimeric G-protein -coupled receptors. Source: Internet
Further signal transduction depends on the type of G protein. Source: Internet
Because β-arr’s have high affinity only to the phosphorylated form of most GPCRs (see above or below), the majority of signaling is ultimately dependent upon G-protein activation. Source: Internet
Glutamate receptors are one of four categories, three of which are ligand-gated ion channels and one of which is a G-protein coupled receptor (often referred to as GPCR). Source: Internet
It is known that in the inactive state, the GPCR is bound to a heterotrimeric G protein complex. Source: Internet
