Abstract excerpt
Although mutant receptors are highly useful to dissect the signal transduction pathways of receptors, they are difficult to study in physiological target tissues, due to the presence of endogenous receptors. To study AT(1) angiotensin receptors in their physiological environment, we constructed a mutant receptor, which differs only from the AT(1A) receptor in its reduced affinity for candesartan, a...
