Abstract excerpt
The minimal structural motif, BBXXB (where B represents a basic amino acid residue and X a non-basic residue), located in particular regions of the intracellular domains of cell surface membrane receptors is involved in the G protein-activating activity of a number of G protein-coupled receptors. The human FSH receptor (hFSHR) exhibits a reversed BBXXB motif (BXXBB) in the juxtamembrane region of the third...
