It consisting of: An extracellular N-terminus that binds the C-terminal part of the incretin analog A seven transmembrane helical domain (TMD) with the a-helices separated by three intracellular loops and three extracellular loops An intracellular C-terminus that is responsible for signaling The EM structure of Semaglutide bound to the complete GLP-1R and G-proteins (Figure 2, PDB ID 7ki0, Zhang et al., 2021) shows some hydrophobic and many specific polar interactions between the peptidic drug and the GLP-1 receptor molecule
