GPCRs Do Not Produce a Single Signal Dr. Activation of a receptor can generate multiple signaling pathways, and different ligands can bias signaling Absence of a Signal Can Be a Discovery One of Dr. “People think a receptor produces one signal. In reality, a receptor produces many signals.” But GPCRs activate multiple signaling pathways simultaneously.
