Abstract: | Based on our theory, we have discovered main triplets of amino acid residues in the GABAB1 receptor and several other neural receptors which seem to come from immunoglobulin chains and appear also as homologies in receptor heteromers. The obtained results strengthen our hypothesis that these triplets may “guide-and-clasp” receptor–receptor interactions playing a role, e.g., in neuroinflammation disorders. |
