G protein-coupled receptors are also called “seven-transmembrane receptors” because of their structural characteristics of having seven transmembrane regions in the molecule. G protein-coupled receptors transmit information on various physiologically active substances from the cell membrane into cells through the activation of trimeric GTP-binding proteins and the resulting changes in intracellular second messengers.
