How to find a conserved regions for a protein by phylogentic analysis tree

Question

[roonymoonlight]

Hi , Iam working on GPR146 , which an orphan receptor and My project is to do phylogenetic analysis for this protein to give insight into the relationship and the pharmacological proprieties of rhodopsin like GPCRs . The idea is to find the conserved regions of this type of GPCR and it can help to predict ligand binding sites. Does any one knows how to find conserved regions from phylogenetic analysis ?
