Characterisation of the N321K mutation in the type-2 vasopressin receptor causing nephrogenic diabetes insipidus

Erdelyi L. , Balla A. , Toth M. , Hunyady L.

Background: Loss of function mutations of the type-2 vasopressin receptor (V2R) in kidney lead to nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI). The function of mutant receptors can be rescued using ligands resulting sufficient amount of plasma membrane localized V2Rs in a conformation which are able to generate cAMP signal. We examined a previously described, not characterized mutation. In order to determine personalized therapy for the individual the properties of the mutant receptor...
