Role of G Protein-coupled Receptor Kinase 5 in Desensitisation of the V1b Vasopressin Receptor in Response to Arginine Vasopressin

Role of G Protein-coupled Receptor Kinase 5 in Desensitisation of the V1b Vasopressin Receptor in Response to Arginine Vasopressin

Arginine vasopressin (AVP) is a hypothalamic nonapeptide which regulates the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis response to stress by stimulating the secretion of adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) from corticotroph cells of the anterior pituitary. This effect is mediated by binding of AVP to the pituitary...
