Abstract excerpt
Intracellular retention of a functional vasopressin V2 receptor (V2R) is a major cause of congenital nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI) and rescue of V2R mutants by nonpeptide antagonists may restore their basolateral membrane (BM) localization and function. However, the criteria for efficient functional rescue of G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) mutants at clinically feasible antagonist concentrations are...
