Regulation of follitropin receptor cell surface residency by the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway.

Abstract excerpt

Little is known of the normal physiological processes that govern the cell surface residency of the human follitropin receptor (hFSHR), a G protein-coupled receptor expressed in the ovary and testis. In the hFSHR, the third intracellular (3i) loop is considered to be pivotal in attenuation of ligand activation, particularly internalization. To gain a better understanding of these processes, we used a yeast-based...
