Neurotensin receptors can bind neurotensins

Neurotensin (Dong Z et al, 1998) is a 13-amino acid neuropeptide that is implicated in the regulation of luteinizing hormone and prolactin release. It also has significant interaction with the dopaminergic system. Neurotensin is synthesized as part of a precursor protein that also contains the related neuropeptide neuromedin N. The neurotensin receptor binds neurotensin. There are two transmembrane receptors encoded by the NTSR1 (Vita N et al, 1993) and NTSR2 (Vita N et al, 1998) genes.

神经肽神经紧张素（Dong Z 等人，1998年）是一种由13个氨基酸组成的神经肽，其在调节黄体生成素和催乳素释放中扮演着关键角色。此外，神经紧张素与多巴胺能系统亦存在显著的相互作用。神经紧张素作为前体蛋白的一部分被合成，该前体蛋白还包含相关神经肽神经紧张素N。神经紧张素受体与神经紧张素相结合。NTSR1（Vita N 等人，1993年）和NTSR2（Vita N 等人，1998年）基因编码了两种跨膜受体。
