Abstract excerpt
UV cross-linking studies of the natriuretic peptide receptor-B (NPR-B) using radiolabeled C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) indicate that only fully glycosylated receptors are capable of binding ligand. We therefore used site-directed mutagenesis to determine which potential glycosylation sites are occupied by carbohydrate, and the relevant mutants were characterized in order to understand the function of...
