Like the other decoy receptors for chemokines CXCR7 does not activate heterotrimeric G-proteins, a compulsory step for typical signal transduction of heptahelical receptors

-
CXCR7, a heptahelical receptor with strong phylogenetic similarity to GPCRs [6], was shown to bind CXCL12 and CXCL11 with high affinity, but fails to induce typical chemokine responses, such as cell migration and associated intracellular signal transduction

However, in primary human CD19+ B cells, which express both receptors in circulation, co-internalization, a hall mark of heptahelical receptor dimers, was not observed, suggesting that heterodimerization in primary cells is of minor relevance The perinatal lethality of mice with a deletion of Cxcr7

The scientists were able to see previously unobserved changes in the structure of rhodopsin, which is a model for the ubiquitous G protein coupled receptors (GPCRs), heptahelical, transmembrane receptors found in eukaryotic cells.
