Abstract excerpt
We have investigated the role of Ser 85 and Arg 86 of the human insulin receptor (HIR) in insulin binding and tyrosine kinase activity by mutational analysis. Four mutant cDNAs were created (R86P, R86N, S85T+R86N, S85W+R86K) and stably transfected into BHK cells. R86P-HIR was also transiently expressed in 293 cells. Only the R86P receptor had substantially altered properties: lack of transport to the plasma...
