Abstract excerpt
Newly synthesized low density lipoprotein receptors (LDLRs) exit the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) as the first step in the secretory pathway. In this study we have generated truncating deletions and substitutions within the 50 amino acid cytoplasmic domain of the LDLR in order to identify residues required for the exit from the ER. Western blot analysis was used to determine the relative amounts of the 120 kDa...
