Words similar to protein-coupled

Example sentences for: protein-coupled

How can you use “protein-coupled” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

There was evidence, says Ryba, that a class of protein receptors called G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) were involved in sweet and bitter taste, ‘but the receptors weren't known, so we started to look for them …. These molecules are intrinsically interesting, but more importantly, they provide tools with which we can dissect out how taste works’.
Thus, it is likely that there are multiple mechanisms that are involved in down-regulation of G protein-coupled receptors.
Our results indicate that δ-opioid receptors undergo rapid agonist-regulated endocytosis which is similar to that exhibited by a variety of peptide hormones and growth factors ( 24, 25) as well as certain G protein-coupled receptors, like β-adrenergic receptors ( 4), neurotensin receptors ( 26), or substance P receptors ( 27).
One such example is shown in Figure 1. The gene CG18314 encodes a G-protein-coupled receptor of the rhodopsin family, containing a seven-transmembrane protein domain with similarity to β 2 -adrenergic receptors of mouse and human [ 30, 31].
Most importantly, in conjunction with robust heterologous expression and assay systems and high-throughput screening of odorant libraries, it will ultimately lead to understanding of structure-function relationships and small-molecule recognition by this large group of G-protein-coupled receptors.
