Abstract excerpt
The Cholecystokinin type 1 and type 2 receptors (CCK-1R and CCK-2R) share >50% amino acid identity, as well as subnanomolar affinity for the endogenous peptide cholecystokinin octapeptide (CCK-8). Although it is likely that these two receptor subtypes share amino acids that confer CCK-8 affinity, it has been difficult to identify such residues. We have examined the role of several transmembrane domain (TMD) IV...
