Abstract excerpt
We here show that the epitope-tagged human TSH receptor (TSHRmyc) is covalently modified with palmitic acid by thioesterification. Side-directed mutagenesis identified Cys699 in the C-terminal cytoplasmic tail of the receptor as the putative palmitoylation site. Mutation of Cys699 to Ala results...
