“…It is well-established that the proximal portion of ICL3 in many family A GPCRs forms an amphipathic R-helix and that this is important in G-protein coupling (31). Similar features have been noted in family B GPCRs; a study of the GLP-1 receptor concluded that the hydrophobic face of this helix was involved in G-protein contacts (4).…”

“…Recently, Santos et al (90) identified the orphan mas receptor as a site for binding ANG- (1-7). The mas receptor, characterized as an oncogene receptor, was shown to influence fetal regulation of cellular differentiation and growth (48). Originally, the mas receptor was considered to be the first ANG II receptor isolated from tissues (57), but other studies soon disproved its participation.…”

“…For many years, the work of Ferrario and Chappel 4 provided evidence that Ang-(1-7) operated in the central nervous system, as well as in the peripheral circulation to produce effects that were, in general, opposite to that of Ang II. Recently, the discovery that Ang-(1-7) binds to a specific membrane receptor, the mas receptor, [5][6][7] suggests that this metabolite may play a regulatory role in cell signaling and organ function. Clearly, the balance between the classic ACE and ACE2 will determine the physiological effect of activation of the RAS.…”
