Abstract excerpt
Angiotensin II (AII) AT(1) receptor mutants with replacements of aliphatic amino acids in the distal region of helix VI and the adjoining region of the third extracellular loop (EC-3) were expressed in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells to determine their role in ligand binding and activation. The triple mutant [L262D, L265D, L268D]AT(1) (L3D) showed a marked reduction in affinity for AII and for non-peptide...
