Abstract excerpt
The functional importance of cysteine residues in the extracellular domain and the extracellular loops (EL1 and EL2) to hormone binding of the rat luteinizing hormone receptor (LHR) was investigated. For this purpose, cysteines in the seven-transmembrane holoreceptor (Form A) and its hormone-binding splice variant (Form B) were replaced by serine residues, and mutant receptors were expressed in COS1 and/or insect...
