Determination of the endothelin-1 recognition sites of endothelin receptor type A by the directed-degeneration method

Abstract G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) play indispensable physiological roles in cell proliferation, differentiation, and migration; therefore, identifying the mechanisms by which ligands bind to GPCRs is crucial for developing GPCR-targeting pharmaceutics and for understanding critical biolog...
