Abstract excerpt
A fundamental issue in molecular pharmacology is to define how agonist-receptor interaction differs from that of antagonist-receptor interaction. The V(1a) vasopressin receptor (V(1a)R) is a member of a family of related G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) that are activated by vasopressin, oxytocin (OT) and related peptides. A segment of the N-terminus that was required for agonist binding, but not antagonist...
