Abstract excerpt
While much work has been done examining the ligand-binding characteristics of the AT1 receptor, very little attention has been focused on the AT2 receptor. Both receptors bind angiotensin II (AngII) with identical affinities, but share only 34% homology. Although it is tempting to assume that conserved residues between the two subtypes are responsible for the binding of AngII, there is little data to support this...
