Food for thought: the physiological relevance of ghrelin and dopamine D2 receptor heterodimerization in the regulation of appetite.
Journal Article
Establishing whether G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) form physiologically relevant functional homo- and heteroligomers in vivo has been a major biochemical challenge. In this issue of Neuron, Kern et al. (2012) investigate whether the anorexigenic effects of D2 dopamine receptors may be a direct consequence of allosteric modulation by Apo-ghrelin receptors.
