Chemokine receptor CCR5 is not only essential for chemotaxis of leukocytes but also has been shown to be a key coreceptor for HIV-1 infection. In the present study, hemagglutinin epitope-tagged human CCR5 receptor was stably expressed in Chinese hamster ovary cells or transiently expressed in NG108-

Signaling through G-protein coupled receptors is one of the most prevalent and important methods of transmitting information to the inside of cells. Many mathematical models have been proposed to describe this type of signal transduction, and the ternary complex (ligand/receptor/G-protein) model and

## Background: The d1 dopamine receptor, expressed in several nephron segments, participates in the regulation of water and electrolyte transport. because the renal d1 receptor is desensitized in genetic hypertension, we sought to determine the mechanism(s) of the desensitization of d1 receptors en
