Abstract excerpt
Recently, we identified constitutively activating mutations at positions Asp-403, Glu-404, and Asn-406 in the third extracellular cysteine box (C-b3) of the thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor. We hypothesized that this region could act as a molecular interface between the extracellular and serpentine domain. In this study we present a model for properties of potential interaction partners for this region....
