High-level expression, purification and characterization of a constitutively active thromboxane A2 receptor polymorphic variant.

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) exhibit some level of basal signaling even in the absence of a bound agonist. This basal or constitutive signaling can have important pathophysiological roles. In the past few years, a number of high resolution crystal structures of GPCRs have been reported, inclu...
