Neurotensin receptor

Neurotensin ( NTS short receptors) are proteins that the neuropeptide neurotensin signal transduction in order to bind. The neurotensin receptors include the NTS1 and the NTS2 receptor and sortilin 1 ( NTS3 receptor). They represent a structurally heterogeneous family of proteins dar. During the NTS1 and the NTS2 receptor to the G protein-coupled receptors belong, is sortilin Vps10p domain receptor 1 a. The neurotensin receptors are involved in the regulatory action of neurotensin on the release of hormones, the regulation of the dopaminergic system and the gastro-intestinal activity.
