Abstract excerpt
Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia type 1 (HHT1) is associated with mutations in the ENDOGLIN gene which normally codes for a polypeptide of 653 amino acids expressed at the cell surface as a dimeric glycoprotein. To maximize the detection of potential mutant proteins, we analyzed by pulse-chase experiments the expression of large truncation mutants in endothelial cells from newborns with HHT1. A mutant...
