Abstract excerpt
Cell-surface TGFbeta (transforming growth factor beta) receptors partition into membrane rafts and the caveolin-positive endocytic compartment by an unknown mechanism. In the present study, we investigated the determinant in the TGFbeta type II receptor (TbetaRII) that is necessary for membrane raft/caveolar targeting. Using subcellular fractionation and immunofluorescence microscopy techniques, we demonstrated...
