Abstract

The angiotensin II type 1 (AT(1)) receptor belongs to family A of 7 transmembrane (7TM) receptors. The receptor has important roles in the cardiovascular system and is commonly used as a drug target in cardiovascular diseases. Interaction of 7TM receptors with G proteins or beta-arrestins often induces higher binding affinity for agonists. Here, we examined interactions between AT(1A) receptors and beta-arrestins to look for differences between the AT(1A) receptor interaction with beta-arrestin1 and beta-arrestin2.
