Abstract excerpt
Palmitoylation is a well-conserved posttranslational modification among members of the G protein-coupled receptor superfamily. The present study examined the role of palmitoylation in endocytosis and postendocytic trafficking of the human LH receptor (LHR). Palmitoylation of the LHR was determined by incorporation of [3H]palmitic acid into wild-type (WT) or mutant receptor in which the potential palmitoylation...
