Selective labeling of IRAP by the tritiated AT(4) receptor ligand [3H]Angiotensin IV and its stable analog [3H]AL-11.

'AT(4) receptors' through which Angiotensin IV (Ang IV) improves memory acquisition, were recently identified as insulin regulated aminopeptidase (IRAP). Radioligand binding studies have hitherto been performed with iodinated Ang IV in the presence of divalent cation chelators EDTA and 1,10-phenanthrolin. Hence, they referred to the apo-form of IRAP.
