Abstract excerpt
Mutational analysis of determinants located in the C-terminal (C) tail of the high affinity leukotriene (LT) B(4) receptor, BLT1, was performed to assess their significance in BLT1 trafficking. When expressed in COS-7 cells, a BLT1 deletion mutant lacking the C-tail (G291stop) displayed higher numbers of binding sites and increased signal transduction compared with wild-type (WT) BLT1. Addition of the C-tail from...
