G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are believed to be the largest
family of membrane proteins involved in signal transduction and
cellular responses. They dimerize (form a pair of macromolecules)
with a wide variety of other receptors. The proposed book will
provide a comprehensive overview of GPCR dimers, starting with a
historical perspective and including, basic information about the
different dimers, how they synthesize, their signaling properties,
and the many diverse physiological processes in which they are
involved. In addition to presenting information about healthy
GPCR dimer activity, the book will also include a section on their
pathology and therapeutic potentials.
