High impact information on NTSR1

  • The distributions of immunoreactive NTRH and 125I-NT binding sites along somatodendritic plasma membranes were highly correlated and homogeneous, suggesting that membrane-targeted NTRH proteins were functional and predominantly extrasynaptic [1].
  • In keeping with this hypothesis, an association has recently been reported between schizophrenia and the gene encoding the neurotensin high affinity receptor (NTSR1) [2].
  • The nucleotide sequence of the GHS-R is most closely related to the neurotensin receptor-1 (NT-R1) (35% overall protein identity) [3].
 

Biological context of NTSR1

  • Therefore, as a follow-up to our earlier work on neurotensin, we have now sought to test the hypothesis that DNA sequence variants that alter the structure or expression of the NTSR1 gene (VAPSEs) are associated with schizophrenia [2].
