β - Arrestins, originally discovered in the context of heterotrimeric
guanine nucleotide binding protein — coupled receptor (GPCR) desensitization, also function in internalization and signaling of these receptors.

Heterotrimeric
guanine nucleotide -
binding regulatory proteins (G proteins) dissociate into guanosine triphosphate (GTP)-
bound alpha subunits and a complex of beta and gamma subunits after interaction with receptors.
The β2 - adrenergic receptor (β2AR) is a well - studied prototype for heterotrimeric
guanine nucleotide —
binding protein (G protein)-- coupled receptors (GPCRs) that respond to diffusible hormones and neurotransmitters.
Hormones and neurotransmitters may mediate common responses through receptors that couple to the same class of heterotrimeric
guanine nucleotide —
binding (G) protein.
Heterotrimeric
guanine nucleotide —
binding protein (G protein)-- coupled receptors constitute the largest family of eukaryotic signal transduction proteins that communicate across the membrane.
