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:

Almost all G-protein-coupled receptors contain a highly conserved cysteine in EC1 and another in EC2.
Initial uncoupling of the beta-2 receptor from the G protein after agonist binding is mediated by phosphorylation by G protein-coupled receptor kinase (GRK) of specific residues in the carboxyl tail of the receptor.
Like other G-protein-coupled receptors, ORs also contain a conserved pair of cysteine residues in IC1 and IC2 (Figures 2, 4).
Down-regulation occurs after prolonged agonist treatment (hours to days), resulting in a loss of receptor binding sites [ 2 3 4 ] . The processes involved in homologous desensitization have been extensively investigated for the beta-2 adrenergic receptor, which is the prototypical G protein-coupled receptor.
Strictly speaking, a candidate hOR would be the most appropriate designation for a protein belonging to this structurally distinct human G-protein-coupled receptor family, as their odorant-detecting function has not yet been reported.
