Abstract excerpt
AIM: To identify the specific serine/threonine residues in the C-terminal tail of thromboxane receptor alpha (TPalpha) being phosphorylated and desensitized, and various alanine mutants of these serine/threonine residues were checked for their ability to serve as substrates. METHODS: To facilitate the identification of the intracellular domains involved in phosphorylation, glutathione S-transferase...
