Serpentine receptor — A serpentine receptor is a type of neurotransmitter receptor that snakes across a cell membrane seven times, as opposed to the normal one time by other neurotransmitter receptors. Serpentine receptors are a type of g protein coupled receptors.… … Wikipedia
chemokine receptors — are G protein linked serpentine receptors that, in addition to binding chemokines, are used as co receptors for the binding of immunodeficiency viruses (HIV, SIV, FIV) to leucocytes. CXCR4 is a co receptor for T tropic viruses, CCR5 for… … Dictionary of molecular biology
