Abstract excerpt
The human transferrin receptor (TfR) is proteolytically cleaved at R100 within the juxtamembrane stalk and to a lesser extent at an alternative site. We examined the effect of stalk mutations on human TfR shedding in transfected CHO cells. Point mutations at R100 led to an increase in alternative...
