Welcome to the GPCRDB
You are looking at a new release of the GPCRDB. The previous
release of the GPCRDB is still available at http//www.gpcr.org/7tm_old.

The
GPCRDB is a molecular-class information system that collects, combines,
validates and stores large amounts of heterogenous data on G
protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). The GPCRDB contains data on
sequences, ligand binding constants and mutations. In addition, many
different types of computationally derived data are stored such as
multiple sequence alignments and homology models. The GPCRDB is
designed to be a data storage medium, as well as a tool to aid
biomedical scientists with answering questions by offering a single
point of access to many types of data that are integrated and
visualized in a user-friendly way. Although most parts of the GPCRDB
are self-explanatory, if you have not used this resource before we
advice you to take a look at the

The informal collaboration of GPCR databases
These include GPCRDB at the CMBI, the Netherlands (formerly at the EMBL), tinyGRAP Mutant Database at the CMBI (formerly at Tromso, Norway), The GPCR Oligomerization Knowledge Base (GPCR-OKB) at the Weill Medical College of Cornell University, Swiss-Prot and the GPCR Natural Variants Database (NaVa).
