Abstract excerpt
Previously, we reported that a liganded LH receptor (LHR) is capable of activating itself (cis-activation) and other nonliganded LHRs to induce cAMP (trans-activation). Trans-activation of the LHR raises two crucial questions. Is trans-activation unique to LHR or common to other G protein-coupled receptors? Does trans-activation stimulate phospholipase Cbeta as it does adenylyl cyclase? To address these...
