Abstract excerpt
Internalization of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and desensitization of the hormonal responses are well characterized in vitro for several hormonal systems. The physiological role of internalization for a GPCR receptor involved in homeostatic functions has not been established, although it has been assumed based on in vitro data. We have previously shown that phosphorylation of the PTH/PTHrP receptor is...
