Abstract
Currently known disease-causing mutations in G protein coupled receptors are reviewed and discussed in conjunction with other naturally occurring receptor mutations. Special emphasis is made on opsin, vasopressin and MSH receptor mutations and what they tell are beginning to tell us about the inner workings of this superfamily of signalling molecules.Keywords
