Abstract excerpt
Internalization of insulin and its receptor via receptor-mediated endocytosis is an important step in insulin-induced signal transduction. To investigate the structural determinants underlying the enhanced internalization rate observed for the insulin receptor transmembrane mutant Gly933-Pro934-->Ala-Ala (GP-->AA), we have designed and chemically synthesized two peptides, IR(TM)-GP and IR-(TM)-AA, corresponding...
