Schematic representation of the strategy followed by Rivero-Müller et al. to demonstrate in vivo dimerization of the lutropin receptor. (Upper) The various genotypes are represented. (Lower) Corresponding phenotypes. The binding-deficient or signaling-deficient receptors are schematized with mutations (yellow dot) affecting the ectodomain or the serpentine domain, respectively.
