As opposed to class A glucagon receptors which have a proline kink, in all [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secretin_receptor_family 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 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secretin_receptor_family 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>.

- | Another important structural component found in all secretin-like class B receptors are the two conserved[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_bridge_%28protein_and_supramolecular%29 salt bridges] found between Arg 346 and Glu 406 and Arg 173 and Glu 406 [[Image:Salt Bridge Interactions.png | 300 px|left|thumb|Glu 406 Salt Bridges]]. | + | Another important structural component found in all secretin-like class B receptors are the two conserved [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_bridge_%28protein_and_supramolecular%29 salt bridges] found between Arg 346 and Glu 406 and Arg 173 and Glu 406 [[Image:Salt Bridge Interactions.png | 300 px|left|thumb|Glu 406 Salt Bridges]]. |
Since there is no conservation of these residues in class A receptors these salt bridges are likely an important feature of secretin-like class B receptors. | Since there is no conservation of these residues in class A receptors these salt bridges are likely an important feature of secretin-like class B receptors. | ||
