Abstract excerpt
The highly conserved aspartate residue in the second transmembrane domain of G protein-coupled receptors is present in position 113 in the type 1 neurotensin receptor (NTR1) but is replaced by an Ala residue in position 79 in the type 2 neurotensin receptor (NTR2). NTR1 couples to Galphaq to stimulate phospholipase C and its binding affinity for neurotensin is decreased by sodium ions and GTP analogs. By...
