Expression levels of functional folate receptors α and β are related to the number of N-glycosylated sites
1 Nov 1997
Abstract excerpt
In a previous study with inhibitors of N-glycosylation, it was proposed that core glycosylation of the folate receptor (FR) is required for the proper folding of the protein [Luhrs (1991) Blood 77, 1171-1180]. The human FR isoforms type alpha and type beta have three and two candidate sites for N-glycosylation respectively, only one of which is conserved. The significance of N-glycosylation at each of these loci...
