Abstract excerpt
The Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell line Monr31, which is resistant to the cytotoxic ionophore monensin, produces a receptor for the low density lipoprotein (LDL) that has a lowered binding affinity for LDL and is approximately 5 kDa smaller in size than the receptor from parental CHO cells. It has been proposed that the reduced size and affinity for LDL are associated with a reduced level of O-glycosylation of...
