As opposed to class A glucagon receptors which have a proline kink, in all secretin-like class B glucagon receptors there is a Glycine at position 393 in Helix VII which allows for a <scene name='72/721537/Gly_393_helical_bend/1'>helical bend</scene>. This Glycine and therefore this helical bend is fully conserved in all secretin-like class B receptors and is an important part of the FQGxxVxxYCF motif. | As opposed to class A glucagon receptors which have a proline kink, in all secretin-like class B glucagon receptors there is a Glycine at position 393 in Helix VII which allows for a <scene name='72/721537/Gly_393_helical_bend/1'>helical bend</scene>.
