GPCR antibodies
07 April, 2009 | United Bioresearch Products Pty Ltd
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are one of the major classes of drug targets and an estimated 30-50% of all marketed drugs act on them. They are integral membrane receptors that transmit signals from various small molecules, peptides and lipids via G proteins where they affect many physiological functions in almost all organs.
