| - | Like other G protein-coupled receptors, the neurotensin receptor is composed of 3 distinct regions. An extracellular binding site where neurotensin binds and causes a conformational change of the protein, a region containing <scene name='72/727765/Overall_structure/1'>7 transmembrane alpha helices</scene> that transduces the signal from the extracellular side of the cell membrane to the intracellular side, and an intracellular region that, when activated by a conformational change in the protein, activates a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G_protein G protein] associated with this receptor. | ||
