LGR5+ stem cells reside at crypt bottoms, intermingled with Paneth cells that provide Wnt, Notch and epidermal growth factor signals. Here we find that the related RNF43 and ZNRF3 transmembrane E3 ubiquitin ligases are uniquely expressed in LGR5+ stem cells.

Muscarinic and other G protein-coupled receptors exhibit an agonist-specific heterogeneity that tracks efficacy and commonly is attributed to an effect of the G protein on an otherwise homogeneous population of sites. To examine this notion, M2 muscarinic receptors were purified
