Abstract excerpt
We have studied the antagonist action of prazosin and KMD-3213 in a constitutively active mutant of the human alpha-1a adrenoceptor in which Ala(271) was substituted to Thr and was expressed in CHO cells. Inverse agonism was characterized by up-regulation of receptor density, a decrease in basal GTPgammaS binding, and a reduction in basal inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3)) level. According to the above...
