Abstract excerpt
We have studied the specificity requirements for processing of the human insulin proreceptor by successively replacing each basic amino acid in the tetrabasic cleavage site with alanine. These mutated receptor cDNAs have then been overexpressed in Chinese hamster ovary cells, using vectors contai...
