Abstract excerpt
We identified nine naturally-occurring human single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the alpha(1a)-adrenoceptor (alpha(1a)AR) coding region, seven of which result in amino acid change. Utilizing rat-1 fibroblasts stably expressing wild type alpha(1a)AR or each SNP at both high and low levels, we investigated the effect of these SNPs on receptor function. Compared with wild type, two SNPs (R166K, V311I) cause a...
