Model depicting the different states of the M2 receptor. G protein stabilizes the high affinity R* form of the receptor that initiates nucleotide exchange in the G protein α subunit. The γ5 subunit peptide stabilizes a unique conformation of the receptor R′ that has distinct properties compared to the R state.
