Abstract excerpt
The very low density lipoprotein receptor (VLDLR) gene contains an exon encoding a region of clustered serine and threonine residues immediately outside the membrane-spanning sequence, and this region has been proposed to be the site of clustered O-linked carbohydrate chains. Two forms of VLDLR transcripts, with and without the O-linked sugar region, are generated through alternative splicing. Reverse...
