Abstract excerpt
Here we report the identification of a new mutation in the alpha-chain of the insulin receptor, changing Trp412 into Ser using DNA from consanguineous parents who gave birth to a child with leprechaunism. The mutant receptor was expressed stably in CHO and transiently in COS-1 cells. It was found that the Ser412 mutant is not cleaved into alpha- and beta-subunits and remains as a 210-kDa proreceptor at an...
