The development of a GPR44 targeting radioligand [11C]AZ12204657 for in vivo assessment of beta cell mass

Abstract Background The G-protein-coupled receptor 44 (GPR44) is a beta cell-restricted target that may serve as a marker for beta cell mass (BCM) given the development of a suitable PET ligand. Methods The binding characteristics of the selected candidate, AZ12204657, at human GPR44 were determined...
