Neurotensin receptors are transmembrane receptors that bind the neurotransmitter neurotensin.[1][2] Two of the receptors encoded by the NTSR1 and NTSR2 genes are G protein-coupled receptors, while the third receptor, called NTS3 or Sortilin, is a single transmembrane domain receptor encoded by the gene SORT1.[3] It is a multi-functional protein which also participates in protein sorting.[3] NTSR1’s function is mediated by its binding to Gq alpha subunit family G-proteins, while NTSR2’s signaling pathway is not yet fully understood.[3]

Ligands

Agonists

Peptide
  • Beta-lactotensin (NTS2)[4]
  • JMV-449
  • Neurotensin
  • Neuromedin N (NTS1 selective)
  • PD-149,163 (NTS1 selective, reduced amide bond 8-13 fragment of neurotensin)
Non-peptide
  • NTS1 full agonist SRI-9829 [5]
  • Partial agonists derived from SR-48692[6]

Antagonists

Biophysical investigation

Unusually for GPCRs, NTS1 can be expressed in an active form in the bacteria E. coli.[9] It can be purified and analysed in vitro and has been analysed by a number of biophysical techniques such as surface plasmon resonance,[10] FRET[11] and cryo-electron microscopy.[12] Furthermore, high-resolution crystal structures of NTS1 have been determined in complex with the peptide full agonist NT8-13, the non-peptide full agonist SRI-9829, the partial agonist RTI-3a, and the antagonists / inverse agonists SR-48692 and SR-142948, as well as in the ligand-free apo state [5]
