Abstract

G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are important drug targets with chemically diverse ligands and varying intracellular coupling partners. Recent work by Laboute et al. deorphanized GPR158 as a metabotropic glycine receptor (mGlyR), thereby providing evidence of a novel neuromodulatory system involving this non-canonical Class C receptor with an impact on cognition and affective states.
