A biophysical study of the G protein coupled receptor neurotensin receptor 1

Abstract:

Neurotensin (NT) is a tridecapeptide neurotransmitter found in the central nervous system and gastrointestinal tract. Neurotensin receptor 1 (NTS1), a high affinity receptor for NT, is a member of the GPCR superfamily and is a putative target for the treatment of conditions such as Schizophrenia, Parkinson’s Disease and drug addiction.

Overexpression and purification are typically limiting steps in the high resolution structure determination of GPCRs. In this study, through the op...
