Abstract excerpt
The involvement of Ral and its downstream molecules in receptor-mediated endocytosis was examined. Expression of either RalG23V or RalS28N, which are known to be constitutively active and dominantnegative forms, respectively, in A431 cells blocked internalization of epidermal growth factor (EGF). Stable expression of RalG23V or RalS28N in CHO-IR cells also inhibited internalization of insulin. Internalization of...
