Abstract excerpt
Previous studies have established that the interaction of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) with its receptor (GnRHR) would require partial entry of the N- and C-terminal regions of ligand into the transmembrane core. The functional significance of the conserved aromatic residue Trp(279) present in the transmembrane helix 6, and Val(299) located in exoloop 3 of the rat GnRHR was investigated by mutagenesis...
