Sodium ions are a negative allosteric inhibitor to the binding of the neurotensin agonist to the binding site on the neurotensin receptor. D113 of the highly conserved D/RY motif and N365 of the highly conserved NPxxY motif form a substantial hydrogen bonding network with T156 and S362.<ref name="Krumm"/> This hydrogen bonding network prevents the incorporation of the sodium ion by collapsing upon itself and therefor filling the sodium binding pocket. W321 also works to inhibit the incorporation of the sodium ion by capping off the sodium binding pocket to not allow sodium to enter from the top. W321 uses van der Walls interactions with other amino acids in the binding pocket to place it in the conformation necessary to complete this task. | Sodium ions are a negative allosteric inhibitor to the binding of the neurotensin agonist to the binding site on the neurotensin receptor.

NTSR1 is commonly expressed in various invasive cancer cell lines. It is prevalent in the colon cancer adenocarcinoma, but is not found in adult colon cell types. NTSR1 is also found in aggressive prostate cancer cells, but not epithelial prostate cells. In prostate cancer cells, binding of the NTS results in mitogen-activated protein kinase (PKB), phosphoinositide-3 kinase (PI-3K), epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), SRC, and STAT5 phosphorylation. These all result in increased DNA sythesis, cell proliferation, and survival. | |||
