Abstract excerpt
Several missense mutations of the ACTH receptor (MC2-R) gene have been associated with the autosomal recessive syndrome of familial glucocorticoid deficiency. Attempts to demonstrate the functional role of these mutations have been confounded by difficulties in expression of the cloned receptor in cells lacking endogenous melanocortin receptors. The Y6 cell line, a mutant derived from the Y1 cell line, lacks any...
