Binding of LVT-derived peptides to human OT/AVP receptor subtypes. Competition experiments were performed using membrane preparations of COS7 cells transiently transfected with the wild-type human OTR, and V1a, V1b and V2 receptors. The Ki values for the human OTR were obtained by displacement of [3H]-OT; the Ki values for the human V1a, V1b and V2 receptors were obtained by displacement of [3H]-AVP. The values are the mean values±s.e. of three different experiments each performed in triplicate.
