Abstract excerpt
A characteristic feature of the platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) beta-receptor is the presence of an insert sequence in the protein tyrosine kinase domain. A receptor mutant which lacks the entire insert of 98 amino acids was expressed in CHO cells, and its functional characteristics were compared with those of the wild-type receptor. The mutant receptor bound PDGF-BB with high affinity and mediated...
