Abstract excerpt
Previous studies have shown that the presence of potentially charged amino acid residues within the transmembrane domains of type I integral membrane proteins can result in protein retention and, in some cases, degradation within the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). An apparent exception to this observation is the CD3-epsilon chain of the T-cell antigen receptor complex, which is relatively stable in spite of having a...
