RESUMO

G-protein-coupled receptors of family B (also called the secretin-receptor family) include receptors for polypeptide hormones, molecules thought to mediate intercellular interactions and proteins that regulate stress responses and longevity. They share a common molecular architecture (with seven putative transmembrane segments) with other G-protein-coupled receptors and are found in all animals.
