Abstract excerpt
In the present study, we verified that the mouse 5-hydroxytryptamine(1A) (5-HT(1A)) receptor is modified by palmitic acid, which is covalently attached to the protein through a thioester-type bond. Palmitoylation efficiency was not modulated by receptor stimulation with agonists. Block of protein synthesis by cycloheximide resulted in a significant reduction of receptor acylation, suggesting that palmitoylation...
