Dimerization of the Extracellular Calcium-sensing Receptor (CaR) on the Cell Surface of CaR-transfected HEK293 Cells
1 Sept 1998
Abstract excerpt
The extracellular calcium (Ca2+o)-sensing receptor (CaR) is a G protein-coupled receptor that plays important roles in calcium homeostasis. In this study, we employed epitope tagging, cell-surface biotinylation, and immunoprecipitation techniques to demonstrate that the CaR is expressed mostly in the form of a dimer on the surface of transfected human embryonic kidney (HEK293) cells. Western analysis of...
