Future research direction

Research for Class A GPCRs is much more extensive than for its secretin, class B counterparts, although class B is proving to be a worthwhile to invest researching. The challenge of class B stabilization, expression, and molecular size , has made class B GPCRs particularly hard to assay. Biochemical research has increased in the class B specifications, because it has been realized that receptors can be modulated by more than the agonist and antagonists present in vivo. Leading research consists of a complex interwoven scheme of equilibria manipulation in multi-receptor conformations. [2]
