title: Expression of vasopressin V2 receptor in Xenopus laevis oocytes by porcine kidney cell line (LLC-PK1) messenger RNA.
abstract: Vasopressin V2 receptor was expressed in Xenopus laevis oocytes which were injected with poly(A) +RNA from porcine kidney cell line LLC-PK1. Pharmacological antagonism of the expressed V2 receptor was observed between arginine vasopressin and two potent and selective vasopressin antagonists: [d(CH2)5, D2-Phe2 Ile4, Ala9-NH2]arginine vasopressin and [d(CH2)5,D-Ile2, Ile4]arginine vasopressin. Activation constant for arginine vasopressin concentration was 1.32 x 10(-10)M. The nucleotide length of the mRNA encoding for vasopressin V2 receptor was deduced to be approximately 2 kilobases.
