Abstract excerpt
Activation of many single-transmembrane receptors requires ligand-induced receptor oligomerization. We have examined the oligomerization of the atrial natriuretic peptide receptor, NPR-A, using epitope-tagged receptor in a co-immunoprecipitation assay. Unlike other single-transmembrane receptors, NPR-A oligomerized in a ligand-independent fashion. Extracellular receptor sequences were both necessary and...
