There are four transmembrane domains (TM1-4) (bold italic letters) and three glycosylation sites (blue boxes). The YxCC motif of alpha subunits is shown in orange box and the Cystein residues in green ovals. Six ligand binding loops are underlined. The three mutations are indicated by vertical arrows.
