Abstract excerpt
The P2Y1 receptor is a membrane-bound G protein-coupled receptor stimulated by adenine nucleotides. Using alanine scanning mutagenesis, the role in receptor activation of charged amino acids (Asp, Glu, Lys, and Arg) and cysteines in the extracellular loops (EL) of the human P2Y1 receptor has been investigated. The mutant receptors were expressed in COS-7 cells and measured for stimulation of phospholipase C...
