Abstract excerpt
To gain insight into the thyrotropin hormone (TSH) receptor (TSHR) cleavage, we sought to convert the noncleaving luteinizing hormone (LH) receptor (LHR) into a cleaved, two-subunit molecule. For this purpose, we generated a series of LHR mutants and chimeric LH-TSH receptors. Cleavage of mature, ligand binding receptors on the cell surface was determined by covalent 125I-labeled hCG crosslinking to intact,...
