Pharmacology of G Protein-Coupled Receptors

Catalog description

In this course, students will be studying the function of G protein- coupled receptors, from drug binding, signal initiation, through the activation of G proteins and arrestins, and termination through receptor desensitization and internalization. Furthermore, we will explore the drug development workflow towards these receptors, in particular learning the theory behind various experimental techniques and model organisms that are utilized within. Note: this is a non-laboratory-based course. Cr. Hr: 1
