Abstract excerpt
The gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) receptor (GnRHR), because of its small size among G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), is amenable to facile preparation of mutants. This receptor is used in our laboratory as a structural model for this super-family of protein receptors and has helped us understand the requirements for proper trafficking. We have demonstrated that pharmacoperones ("pharmacological...
