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.
G-protein-independent signaling Although they are classically thought of working only together, GPCRs may signal through G-protein-independent mechanisms, and heterotrimeric G-proteins may play functional roles independent of GPCRs.
It is known that in the inactive state, the GPCR is bound to a heterotrimeric G protein complex.
Heterotrimeric G proteins main Different types of heterotrimeric G proteins share a common mechanism.
