GPCRs are a group of transmembrane receptors which relay the signals of many different types of ligands including peptide hormones. And they are main drug targets in pharmacological treatment as they control major cellular functions. In this video, i discuss about the structure, function and the mechanism of action of GPCRs. Watch the video till the end and dont forget to subscribe and leave a comment. Thanks for watching!

G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) are an attractive drug target; however, not enough is known about their structure, as they are too unstable to isolate and purify. This medical animation highlights the important role they play in many physiological functions and diseases.
Hosted on the homepage of the Heptares website, the animation introduces a new method developed by Heptares, of maintaining the structure of GPCRs following their isolation. This method allows for the more effective assessment of drug candidates, highlighting how this technology may be used to develop new treatments for various diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease and cancer.
