“…Whereas the D 1 is coupled to Gαs and D 2 to Gαi, the macromolecular complex formed when the two receptors are co-expressed in the same neuron couples to Gαq (Rashid et al, 2007; Hasbi et al, 2009;George et al, 2014;Perreault et al, 2015). Notwithstanding, conformational changes that affect the binding and signaling outputs produced by a given agonist have been shown in the interactions with the Gαi-coupled CB 1 R (Callén et al, 2012;Sierra et al, 2015;Angelats et al, 2018), the Gαscoupled adenosine A 2A receptor (Franco et al, 2019a), and the ionotropic NMDA receptor (Rivas-Santisteban et al, 2021). In one of the first studies of biased agonism in GPCR heteromers (CB 1 R/CB 2 R), Navarro and co-workers showed that the allosteric effect of CBD was particularly noteworthy for the endocannabinoid anandamide but also that the effect tested using different agonists was smaller in the heteromer (Navarro et al, 2018a).…”
