Icatibant Acts as a Balanced Ligand of MRGPRX2 in Human Skin Mast Cells

MRGPRX2 (Mas-related G protein-coupled receptor member X2) is implicated in mast cell (MC)-driven disorders due to its ability to bind diverse ligands, which may be G-protein-biased or balanced, with the latter activating both G-proteins and the β-arrestin pathway. Icatibant, a peptide drug, produce...
