Membrane trafficking of G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) is a critical mechanism by which cells mediate complex signaling pathways. Endosomes are increasingly recognized as platforms for GPCR signaling. The VEE was first identified using the LHR, a GPCR that is key in reproduction. We have shown that recycling of the LHR is driven by receptor mediated Gαs cAMP signaling from the VEE and PKA-dependent phosphorylation of the adaptor protein, APPL1, while APPL1 negatively...
