Abstract excerpt
We demonstrated that rat kinin B(1) receptors displayed a ligand-independent constitutive activity, assessed through inositol phosphate production in transiently or stably transfected human embryonic kidney 293A cells. Substitution of Ala for Asn(130) in the third transmembrane domain resulted in additional constitutive activation of the B(1) receptor. The constitutively active mutant N130A receptor could be...
