Abstract excerpt
Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) is a prominent neuropeptide whose actions are mediated by VPAC receptors belonging to class II G protein-coupled receptors. To identify contact sites between VIP and its VPAC1 receptor, an analog of VIP substituted with a photoreactive para-benzoyl-l-Phe (Bpa) at position 22 has been synthesized and evaluated in Chinese hamster ovary cells stably expressing the recombinant...
