Abstract excerpt
(1) We have investigated the properties of native and haemagglutinin (HA)-tagged neuropeptide Y (NPY) Y(1) receptors after mutation of the palmitoylation site Cys(337) to Ser or Ala. (2) In Chinese hamster ovary cells expressing similar receptor levels, the C337A mutation abolished incorporation of [(3)H]palmitic acid into the HA-Y(1) receptor. (3) Cys(337) substitution did not alter the affinities of Y(1)...
