Abstract excerpt
The motilin receptor (MTLR) is an important therapeutic target for the treatment of hypomotility disorders but desensitization may limit its clinical utility. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of the C-terminal tail of the MTLR in the desensitization, phosphorylation and internalization process.
