Abstract
Receptor heteromers constitute a new area of research that is reshaping
our thinking about biochemistry, cell biology, pharmacology and drug
discovery. In this commentary, we recommend clear definitions that
should facilitate both information exchange and research on this
growing class of transmembrane signal transduction units and their
complex properties. We also consider research questions underlying
the proposed nomenclature, with recommendations for receptor heteromer
identification in native tissues and their use as targets for drug
development.
