Abstract

Different series of fluorescent agonists and antagonists have been developed and characterized for argininevasopressin and oxytocin G protein-coupled receptors. Both cyclic and linear peptide analogs of the neurohypophysial hormones are useful tools for investigating receptor localization and trafficking, analysing receptor structural organization, and developing new receptor-selective high-throughput ligand screening assays.

Keywords: Arginine-vasopressin, oxytocin, G protein-coupled receptor, structure-activity relationships, fluorescent peptide, fluorescence resonance energy transfer, fluorescence polarization, high-throughput screening assays
