Identification and pharmacological characterization of native, functional human urotensin‐II receptors in rhabdomyosarcoma cell lines
1 Jul 2004
Abstract excerpt
1 In an effort to identify endogenous, native mammalian urotensin-II (U-II) receptors (UT), a diverse range of human, primate and rodent cell lines (49 in total) were screened for the presence of detectable [125I]hU-II binding sites. 2 UT mRNA (Northern blot, PCR) and protein (immunocytochemistry) were evident in human skeletal muscle tissue and cells. 3 [(125)I]hU-II bound to a homogenous population of...
