    October 2022 "Adhesion G protein-coupled receptors (aGPCRs) are keys of many physiological events and via an autoproteolysis process that removes the inhibitory GAIN domain on the extracellular side of receptor and releases a stalk peptide to bind and activate the transmembrane side of receptor. This is also where Gq/Gs bind the receptor through both hydrophobic and polar interaction, while Gi/G12 /G13 engage receptor mainly through hydrophobic interaction.
