Abstract

We isolated a cDNA encoding type-1 angiotensin II receptor from a human liver cDNA library. The cDNA had an open reading frame encoding a protein of 359 amino acid residues with a relative Mr of 41,060. The deduced amino acid sequence of the human angiotensin II (Ang II) receptor was 95.3% and 94.2% identical to those of bovine and rat type-1 Ang II receptors, respectively, and had a significant similarity with the G protein-coupled receptor. The rank order of the binding to the receptor expressed in COS-7 cells was Ang II > Ang III > Ang I. The expression of the Ang II receptor mRNA was detected in human liver, lung, adrenal and adrenocortical adenomas but not in adrenomedullary tumor, pheochromocytoma, by Northern blot analysis.
