EndoNet ID: ENR00923

To link to the content of EndoNet use the EndoNet ID that is given on the detail pages in the format ENX0000, where X is a place holder for the type of the component (e. g. R for receptor or C for anatomical structure).
As URL for the linking append this ID to the detail page for this type of component.
For an hormone that would be: 

http://endonet.bioinf.med.uni-goettingen.de/hormone/ENH00000

It is also possible to use the search of EndoNet to link to the right detail page. The URL should look like 

http://endonet.bioinf.med.uni-goettingen.de/search/ENC00000
If the search pattern is unambigious the user is directed to the corresponding detail page.

Synonyms

  • NT-R1
  • neurotensin receptor type 1

General information

  • In peripheral tissues, the highest levels of NTR mRNA were detected in the colon, followed by the liver, and then duodenum and pancreas. [1]
  • Nucleus caudatus, the putamen and the nucleus accumbens contain very high to high levels of neurotensin receptor binding sites. [2]
  • Neurotensin and its high affinity receptor (NTSR1) localise within dopaminergic neurones in the mesocortical, mesolimbic and nigrostriatal systems and it is now clear that neurotensin can selectively modulate dopaminergic neurotransmission. [3]

Binding hormones

  • NT
    • Receptor for the tridecapeptide neurotensin. It is associated with G proteins that activate a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system. [4]
  • neuromedin N
    • NTSR1 also binds the NTS-related hexapeptide neuromedin N. [5]
