Recent studies have revealed that angiotensin II (Ang II) interacts with two pharmacologically different types of seven-transmembrane domain receptors, hence named Ang II type 1 and type 2 (AT1 and AT2) receptors. cDNAs for the AT1 receptor have been cloned, and the existence of two receptor subtypes, AT1A and AT1B, has been revealed in rat and mouse. This study presents a new approach for the ...
