摘要
Mutations of G protein-coupled receptors can increase their constitutive (agonist-independent) activity. Some of these mutations have been artificially introduced by site-directed mutagenesis, others occur spontaneously in human diseases. The analysis of the constitutively active G protein-coupled receptors has provided important informations about the molecular mechanisms underlying receptor activation and drug action.
