Structural insights into the human niacin receptor HCA2-Gi signalling complex

Hydroxyl-carboxylic acid receptor 2 (HCA2) functions as a high-affinity receptor for nicotinic acid (vitamin B3). Here, authors report the cryo-EM structure of the HCA2-Gi complex with the agonist MK-6892 and inactive state crystal structures of mutation stabilized HCA2, to describe the mechanism of...
