Abstract excerpt
Glucagon receptor (GR) activity and expression are altered in several diseases, including Type 2 diabetes. Previously, we investigated the mechanism of GR desensitization and internalization. The present study focused on the fate of internalized GR. Using both hamster hepatocytes and human embryonic kidney (HEK)-293 cells, we showed that internalized GR recycled to the plasma membrane within 30-60 min following...
