More heterodimers of mGluR2 (mGluR2/3) in the brain than homodimers! Cryo-EM Structures of Brain-Derived G Protein-Coupled Receptors: The First Direct Visualization from Mammalian Brain Tissue https://t.co/tbqqgRFziL
The protein MRAP2 is known to enhance the activity of the melacortin-4 receptor, but whether itโs had a similar effect on the related receptor MC3R has been controversial.
Now, a new study in @SciSignal has shown that MRAP2 can bind to MC3R and enhance its activity. https://t.co/HJrNwoaL8I
