Abstract excerpt

The human transferrin receptor is post-translationally modified by the addition of a fatty acyl moiety. In earlier studies, transient expression in Cos cells of human transferrin receptors in which Cys62 or Cys67 was altered to serine provided evidence that Cys62 is the major acylation site of th...
