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:

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.
Many class I G-protein-coupled receptors, including rhodopsin and the β 2 -adrenergic receptor, contain one or two cysteine residues in their carboxyl termini about 12 amino acids from the end of TM7.
Furthermore, since some GPCRs can modulate MAP kinase activity, MAP kinase regulation of GPCR function may then serve as a form of negative feedback control in much the same way that protein kinase A, protein kinase C and the G protein-coupled receptor kinases (GRKs) regulate GPCRs.
OR sequences contain one highly conserved cysteine in EC1 and three in EC2, an unusual feature shared by only a few G-protein-coupled receptors, such as chemokine or P2Y1 receptors, which have an additional pair of disulfide-forming cysteines in the amino terminus and EC3 [ 50, 51].
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’.
