“…The coupling of the receptors to different transducing pathways, PLC/IP 3 under basal conditions and adenylyl cyclase/PKA under depolarizing conditions, may have a number of explanations. For instance, it was shown that the chemokine receptors exist as homodimers or heterodimers and that the dimer composition can direct the coupling to different transducing pathways (Mellado et al, 2001;El-Asmar et al, 2005;Springael et al, 2005).…”
