Receptor oligomerization: from early evidence to current understanding in class B GPCRs

Dimerization or oligomerization of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are known to modulate receptor functions in terms of ontogeny, ligand-oriented regulation, pharmacological diversity, signal transduction and internalization. Class B GPCRs are receptors to a family of hormones including secretin...
