In different native tissues and cells the receptor for the vasodepressor bradykinin, B(2), forms dimers with the receptor for the vasopressor angiotensin II, AT(1). Because AT(1)/B(2) heterodimers may contribute to enhanced angiotensin II-stimulated signaling under pathophysiological conditions, we analyzed mechanisms of AT(1)/B(2) heterodimerization. We found that efficient B(2) receptor maturation was a prerequisite for heterodimerization because only the fully mature B(2) receptor was capable ...[more]
