Breaking the Enigma Code of Angiotensin II Type 2 Receptor Signaling

摘要

In this issue of Structure, Asada et al. (2019) present angiotensin receptor AT2R structure in complex with its main endogenous agonist, AngII peptide. Complementing the previous structural studies, the new complex structure sheds light on the AT2R activation mechanism and opens new avenues for drug discovery targeting this enigmatic receptor.
