## Abstract Structural characterization of membrane proteins is hampered by their instability in detergent solutions. We modified here a G protein‐coupled receptor, the BLT1 receptor of leukotriene B~4~, to stabilize it __in vitro__. For this, we introduced a metal‐binding site connecting the third
## Abstract G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) for lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) and sphingosine 1‐phosphate (S1P) transduce signals to many functions of normal cells. Most human cancer cells upregulate S1P and LPA GPCRs, in patterns distinctive for each type of tumor. The findings that 1‐alpha, 25‐
