G protein coupled receptors, like as endothelin A receptor, are the transmembrane spanning receptors, and the most commonly targeted receptor class for medicinal therapeutics. Agonist binding to the receptor causes them to adopt a conformation that results in the activations of associated multiple heterotrimeric G proteins, but it is still unknown how to selective activated the various G proteins by single receptor. It was clarified the role of protein kinases and lipid rafts on the selective activation of multiple G proteins mediated by receptor.
