GPCR signaling occurs when a ligand binds to the receptor and produces a conformational change that either activates or inhibits the activity of heterotrimeric G proteins. G proteins then regulate specific downstream signaling pathways depending on the type of Gα subunit linked to a GPCR. Abbreviation: GPCR, G protein-coupled receptor.
