Site-Directed Mutagenesis of the Human Thyrotropin Receptor: Role of Asparagine-Linked Oligosaccharides in the Expression of a Functional Receptor
1 Jan 1991
Abstract excerpt
We studied the role of glycosylation in the expression of a functional human TSH receptor. Oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis was used to replace, separately or together, the Asn codons with Gln in each of the six potential glycosylation sites in the receptor. Recombinant wild-type and mutated TSH receptors were stably expressed in Chinese hamster ovary cells. High affinity TSH binding and the cAMP response to...
