Abstract excerpt
Site-directed mutagenesis was used to assess the role of transmembrane (TM)-charged amino acids in the expression and function of the G protein-coupled receptor for PTH and PTH-related protein (PTHrP). Charged residues that are conserved in the TM regions of most or all members of the PTH/secretin receptor subfamily were targeted. Four mutants (E296A, R337A, H414A, and E459K) displayed properties similar to the...
