[0006] The G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) are a superfamily of membrane proteins characterized by the presence of seven transmembrane.alpha.-helix segments (designated TM1 to TM7) connecting alternating intracellular and extracellular loops.
In a further preferred embodiment, the methods further comprise comparing the competitive inhibition of binding by said compound of said first receptor and said second receptor.

The mechanisms by which 7TM receptors are targeted to caveolae are not yet known, but agents that disrupt caveolae prevent internalization of the ET endothelin receptors and VIP receptors.
The beta-arrestin-2 translocates more readily to this receptor than does beta-arrestin-1, and the association of either beta-arrestin with receptor is more transient, ending shortly after the receptor is internalized at or near the cell surface.
In the case of the slowly recycling receptors, such as the V2 vasopressin receptor, both beta-arrestin-1 and beta-arrestin-2 translocate to the receptors, and the receptors and beta-arrestins remain associated for much longer (up to 4h) in large endosomes before the receptors are finally recycled.

Ligand-occupied, 7TM cell-surface receptors stimulate signal onset by acting as guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) for Gα subunits, facilitating GDP release, subsequent binding of GTP, and release of the Gβγ dimer.
Although the GoLoco motif was first discovered in the context of 7TM receptor signaling, a central role is emerging for GoLoco motif-containing proteins in an unexpected arena: the control of mitotic spindle organization, microtubule (MT) dynamics, and the act of chromosomal segregation during cell division.
The GEF activity of rat Ric-8A was found to have characteristics distinct from those of 7TM receptors; specifically, Ric-8A appears to interact preferentially with isolated Gα·GDP subunits to accelerate the release of GDP by Gα, the rate limiting step in the G-protein cycle [135].
