Beta-Blockers Show Inverse Agonism to a Novel Constitutively Active Mutant of β1-Adrenoceptor

We obtained a new mutant of the β1-adrenergic receptor (β1-AR) by point mutations that can constitutively activate β1-AR. Aspartate104 of the β1-AR in the 2nd transmembrane was replaced with alanine. The β1-AR mutant expressed in human embryonic kidney (HEK)-293 cells displayed high level of constit...
