Abstract excerpt
In general, plasma membrane integral proteins, such as the membrane-anchored growth factor proTGF-alpha, are assumed to be transported to the cell surface via a nonregulated, constitutive pathway. proTGF-alpha C-terminal mutants are retained in an early secretory compartment. Here, using a two-hybrid screen, we identify two TACIPs (proTGF-alpha cytoplasmic domain-interacting proteins) that contain PDZ domains and...
