Abstract excerpt
We have previously established that isoprenylation of the prostacyclin receptor (IP) is required for its efficient G protein coupling and effector signaling (Hayes, J. S., Lawler, O. A., Walsh, M. T., and Kinsella, B. T. (1999) J. Biol. Chem. 274, 23707-23718). In the present study, we sought to investigate whether the IP may actually be subject to palmitoylation in addition to isoprenylation and to establish the...
