Biological Information
Background Information:
Vasopressin receptors belong to the superfamily of G protein-coupled seven transmembrane proteins. G-protein-coupled receptors constitute one of the major signal transduction systems in eukaryotic cells. Coding sequences for these receptors, in those regions believed to contribute to the agonist-antagonist binding site, are strongly conserved across mammalian species. Vasopressin receptors are currently classified into V1A, V1B (V3) and V2 subtypes. The V1A receptor, the most widespread vasopressin receptor subtype, is found in many central nervous system structures and peripheral tissues. Vasopressin V1A receptor agonism may cause hypertension and coronary vasospasm as well as increase platelet aggregation and vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation. Receptor antagonism may be useful in the treatment of dysmenorrhea and Raynaud’s disease.

Testing Information
Procedure Summary:
Human recombinant vasopressin V1A receptors expressed in HEK-293 cells are used in modified Tris-HCl buffer pH 7.4. A 0.26 μg‡ aliquot is incubated with 0.03 nM [¹²⁵I]Phenylacetyl-D-Tyr(Me)-Phe-Gln-Asn-Arg-Pro-Arg-Tyr-NH2 for 120 minutes at 25°C. Non-specific binding is estimated in the presence of 1 μM [Arg8]Vasopressin. Receptors are filtered and washed, the filters are then counted to determine [¹²⁵I]Phenylacetyl-D-Tyr(Me)-Phe-Gln-Asn-Arg-Pro-Arg-Tyr-NH2 specifically bound. Compounds are screened at 10 μM.
Note: ‡Membrane protein may change from lot to lot, the concentration used will be adjusted if necessary
