  • Effects of Small Molecule Ligands on ACKR3 Receptors

    ACKR3 has been described as an atypical "biased" receptor because it does not appear to signal through G proteins and, instead, signals solely through the β-arrestin pathway. In support of this conclusion, we have shown that ACKR3 is unable to signal through any of the known atypical chemokine receptor 3 (ACKR3), which signals atypically. This work will help to better understand the unique signaling roles of ACKR3."
