Abstract excerpt
A significant proportion of human gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptors (GnRHRs) are normally retained in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER); however, nearly all rat GnRHRs are routed to the plasma membrane. When mutations are introduced into either receptor, considerably more of the proteins are recognized by the quality control system (QCS) as misfolded and retained compared with wild-type (WT) receptor,...
