Unexpectedly, Class A G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), a large class of signaling proteins exemplified transbilayer lipid movement, conceptualized as the swiping of a credit card (lipid) through a card reader (GPCR Conformational changes that facilitate scrambling are distinct from those associated with GPCR signaling In this review, we discuss the physiological significance of GPCR scramblase activity and the modes of

Currently, attention was mainly paid to biased signaling modulators targeting G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs The biased signaling modulation of non-GPCR receptors has yet to be exploited. Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) is one such non-GPCR receptor, which involves MyD88-dependent and TRIF-dependent modulators of TLR4 would provide insight for the future development of biased modulators for other non-GPCR
