Transmembrane Regions V and VI of the Human Luteinizing Hormone Receptor Are Required for Constitutive Activation by a Mutation in the Third Intracellular Loop
1 Sept 1996
Abstract excerpt
Gonadotropin receptors are members of the seven-transmembrane (TM) receptor family. Several point mutations in TM V and VI and the intracellular loop 3 (i3) have been identified in the luteinizing hormone (LH) receptor gene, leading to constitutive activation of the receptor. Because gonadotropin receptors are highly conserved, we mutated the follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) receptor at the corresponding amino...
