Abstract excerpt
The human formyl peptide receptor (FPR) is N-glycosylated and activates phagocytes via G(i)-proteins. The FPR expressed with G(i)alpha(2)beta(1)gamma(2) in Sf9 insect cells exhibits high constitutive activity as assessed by strong inhibitory effects of an inverse agonist and Na(+) on basal guanosine 5(')-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTPgammaS) binding. The aim of our study was to analyze the role of N-glycosylation in...
