High impact information on NTSR2

  • The constitutive activity of the ghrelin receptor and of neurotensin receptor 2 through the G(q), phospholipase C pathway was approximately 50% of their maximal capacity as determined through inositol phosphate accumulation [1].
  • NTta QTL on chromosomes 3, 7, and 8 coincide with QTL previously identified that impact NT peptide content and NTR2ta QTL on chromosome 2 and 12 coincide with genes previously associated with NTR2 receptor abundance [2].
