Abstract excerpt
The alpha2A-adrenoceptor undergoes desensitization in response to protein kinase C activation. Using mutagenesis and recombinant expression we sought to determine the specific sites within the receptor which are phosphorylated by protein kinase C and are responsible for this desensitization. Ser/Thr in the third intracellular loop were substituted with Ala to create mutant receptors T272A, S258A, S324A and S360A....
