Structure of the antidiuretic hormone vasopressin receptor signalling complex
2020-12-22
Abstract excerpt
Arginine-vasopressin (AVP) is a neurohypophysial peptide known as the antidiuretic hormone. It forms an active signalling complex with the V2 receptor (V2R) and the Gs protein, promoting a cAMP/PKA-dependent aquaporin insertion in apical membranes of principal cells of the renal collecting ducts and ultimately, water reabsorption. Molecular mechanisms underlying activation of this critical G protein-coupled recept...
