Synonyms (9) G protein coupled receptor protein signaling pathway, G protein coupled receptor protein signalling pathway, G-protein coupled receptor protein signal transduction, G-protein coupled receptor protein signaling pathway, G-protein coupled receptor signalling pathway, G-protein-coupled receptor protein signaling pathway, G-protein-coupled receptor protein signalling pathway, GPCR signaling pathway, GPCR signalling pathway
Definition A series of molecular signals that proceeds with an activated receptor promoting the exchange of GDP for GTP on the alpha-subunit of an associated heterotrimeric G-protein complex. The GTP-bound activated alpha-G-protein then dissociates from the beta- and gamma-subunits to further transmit the signal within the cell. The pathway begins with receptor-ligand interaction, or for basal GPCR signaling the pathway begins with the receptor activating its G protein in the absence of an agonist, and ends with regulation of a downstream cellular process, e.g. transcription.
