Identification of the Sites of Asparagine
... We also demonstrated that all six potential N-linked glycosylation sites on TSHR ectodomain are actually glycosylated in CHO-Lec8 cells. However, it is uncertain that TSHR endogenously expressed in thyroid cells also contains six N-linked carbohydrates. It has been reported that the number of the ac ...

Protein traffic in polarized epithelial cells: the polymeric
... In these fibroblasts, when the plg-R reaches the cell sur face it is not immediately cleaved to SC. This results in a pool of uncleaved receptor on the surface where it is capable of internalizing bound ligand. About 35% of the bound ligand can be internalized. This endocytosed ligand is rapidly re ...

Even for such genomes, past lineage-speci®c deletions of paralogous genes can result in paralogues falsely being predicted as orthologues. Additional complexities in assignment arise from complete genome, or largescale gene, duplications that ...

The absence of Tom37 from the plant complex was not so surprising, since this subunit is also missing from the N. crassa complex, and the Tom37 ...

... Cloning of RORal, RORa2, and RORa3 ROR was isolated as part of a screen to identify RAR- and RXR-related genes that might play a direct or even an indirect role in vitamin A physiology. The DNA-binding domain of the human RARa was used as a probe to screen recombinant DNA libraries to search for unr ...

VLDL receptor

The very-low-density-lipoprotein receptor (VLDLR) is a transmembrane lipoprotein receptor of the low-density-lipoprotein (LDL) receptor family. VLDLR shows considerable homology with the members of this lineage. Discovered in 1992 by T. Yamamoto, VLDLR is widely distributed throughout the tissues of the body, including the heart, skeletal muscle, adipose tissue, and the brain, but is absent from the liver. This receptor has an important role in cholesterol uptake, metabolism of apoprotein-E-containing triacylglycerol-rich lipoproteins, and neuronal migration in the developing brain. In humans, VLDLR is encoded by the VLDLR gene. Mutations of this gene may lead to a variety of symptoms and diseases, which include type I lissencephaly, cerebellar hypoplasia, and atherosclerosis.
