Popis: Loss-of-function mutations of the arginine vasopressin receptor 2 gene (AVPR2) cause Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI). AVPR2 is a kind of G protein coupled receptor (GPCR) and mainly couples with Gαs protein leading to cAMP accumulation in the cell as a secondary messenger. Recent studies showed that some AVPR2 mutations could cause biased Gαq/11 protein coupling rather than Gαs. Investigation into the characterization of biased receptors may give insights into the relationship between the conformational change of the receptor because of the mutation and related downstream signaling. In this study, R68W and V162A were analyzed to whether they show a bias to Gαs or Gαq/11 proteins. Their functionality in terms of cAMP production
