GPCRs represent major drug targets, as indicated by the fact that about 40% of all drugs currently used in clinical practice mediate their therapeutic effects by acting on GPCRs. Like many other organs, various GPCRs play a role in regulating liver function. It is predicted that more than 50 GPCRs are expressed in the liver. However, our knowledge of how GPCRs regulate liver metabolism and fibrosis in the different cell types

Arrestins regulate a wide range of signaling events, most notably when bound to active G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). Among the known effectors recruited by GPCR-bound arrestins are Src family kinases, which regulate cellular modulates Fgr activity with a hallmark bell-shaped concentration-dependence, consistent with a role as a signaling determined the crystal structure of the Fgr SH3 domain at 1.9 Å resolution and developed a model for the GPCR-arrestin

structural positions in class A G protein-coupled receptors expressed in tumors G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs They have a common structure and, signaling through a much smaller set of G proteins, arrestins, and Because there are many more GPCRs than effectors, mutations in different receptors could perturb signaling To test this possibility, we systematically aggregated somatic cancer mutations across class A GPCRs These data suggest that recurrent impactful oncogenic mutations perturb different GPCRs to subvert signaling
