Secretin family (Class B) G protein-coupled receptors - from molecular to clinical perspectives

Br J Pharmacol. 2012 May;166(1):1-3. doi: 10.1111/j.1476-5381.2011.01810.x.

Abstract

Family B G protein-coupled receptors represent an important but under-researched group of receptors. This edition of the British Journal of Pharmacology considers the roles and pharmacology of a number of these receptors. Whilst common themes emerge, it is clear that more work is needed to understand the details of each receptor in order to properly exploit them therapeutically.
