title: A newly found angiotensin II receptor subtype mediates cyclic GMP formation in differentiated Neuro-2A cells.
abstract: In search of the functional role of the newly found angiotensin II (Ang II) binding site which is expressed in differentiated Neuro-2A cells, we found that Ang II causes a marked stimulation of cGMP formation dose-dependently. The stimulation was blocked by the nonselective Ang II receptor antagonist [Sar1,Ile8]Ang II but not by the AT1 antagonist DuP 753 or the AT2 antagonist PD 123319. These results suggest that Ang II increased cGMP level via a new Ang II receptor subtype in differentiated Neuro-2A cells.
