*[[Neurotensin receptor]]

Like other G protein-coupled receptors, NTSR1 is composed of 3 distinct regions. An <scene name='72/727765/Overall_structure/5'>extracellular binding site</scene> where neurotensin binds and causes a conformational change of the protein. A region containing <scene name='73/733990/Overall/1'>7 transmembrane alpha helices</scene> (PDB code:[http://www.rcsb.org/pdb/explore/explore.do?structureId=4GRV 4GRV)] that transduce the signal from the extracellular side of the cell membrane to the intracellular side. Lastly, an intracellular region that when activated by a conformational change in the protein activates a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G_protein G-protein] associated with this receptor.

The <scene name='72/721547/Hydrophobic_binding_pocket/6'>hydrophobic binding pocket</scene> in NTSR1 is located at the top of the protein (Figure 1). NTSR1 also contains an '''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allosteric_regulation allosteric]''' <scene name='72/721548/Na_bind_pocket/13'>sodium binding pocket</scene>, which is located directly beneath the ligand binding pocket and the two pockets, which are separated by the residue <scene name='72/721548/Trp321/1'>Trp321</scene><ref name="SPGP">PMID:26205105</ref>.
