ABSTRACT: Purpose: To investigate the quaternary structures of Rhodopsin-family GPCRs. Method: Analyzed 60 receptors from HEK 293T cells. Results: 1) Most of these receptors are monomers. 2) The phylogenetic distribution of dimers suggests that monomers have an evolutionary advantage due to constraints imposed by dimerization on rates of receptor diversification.
