Abstract excerpt
The mechanism of UV-radiation-induced EGF receptor (EGFR) internalization remains to be established. In the present study, we found UV-radiation-mediated internalization of the EGFR to be dependent on the cytoplasmic carboxy-terminal region. UV radiation was unable to induce internalization of EGFR carboxy-terminal truncation mutants where all or four of the five major autophosphorylation sites were missing (963-...
