Abstract excerpt
The human prostacyclin receptor (hIP) is a seven transmembrane-spanning G-protein-coupled receptor that plays an important role in vascular homeostasis. Recent genetic analyses (SNP database, NCBI) have revealed the first two polymorphisms within the coding sequence, V25M and R212H. Here we present structure-function characterizations of these polymorphisms at physiological pH (7.4) and at an acidic pH (6.8) that...
