A search of 397 class A GPCR cytoplasmic sequences for YPXnL motifs was completed by sequence alignment using the GPCR database (Vroling et al., 2011). Of these, several GPCRs contained sequences conforming to the YPXnL motif in the ICL2 (bold) and were aligned starting with the DRY/F motif. The list includes the GPCR family name, International Union of Basic and Clinical Pharmacology (IUPHAR) nomenclature, and NCBI accession numbers.
