[[G protein-coupled receptors]] (GPCRs) are a large family of protein receptors, which have seven-transmembrane helices and are found over a large array of eukaryotic cells. These receptors take a major part in a multitude of signal transduction pathways, including amongst others responses to hormones and neurotransmitters, sensing light, taste and smell, and many more. These receptors are also involved in many different types of diseases and are the target of almost 50% of current medical drugs. | [[G protein-coupled receptors]] (GPCRs) are a large family of protein receptors, which have seven-transmembrane helices and are found over a large array of eukaryotic cells.
