Abstract excerpt
The angiotensin II receptors AT1R and AT2R serve as key components of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. AT1R has a central role in the regulation of blood pressure, but the function of AT2R is unclear and it has a variety of reported effects. To identify the mechanisms that underlie the differences in function and ligand selectivity between these receptors, here we report crystal structures of human AT2R...
