Abstract excerpt
The neurotensin receptor 1, NTS1, is a G protein-coupled receptor. We have shown previously that the NTS1 receptor-binding site of the peptide agonist involved residues in extracellular loop 3 and at the extracellular junction of transmembrane domains 4 and 6. Here, we investigated by site-directed mutagenesis residues in extracellular loop 3 that might be involved in agonist-induced activation of the rat NTS1...
