Abstract excerpt
Functional mouse prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) receptor EP3alpha subtype has been expressed in insect cells using a baculovirus system (Huang C. and Tai H.-H. Biochem J 1995; 307: 493-498). EP3alpha receptor has two potential sites (Asn-X-Ser/Thr), Asn 16 and Asn 193, for N-glycosylation. The role of glycosylation in ligand binding of the EP3alpha receptor was investigated by site-directed mutagenesis. Asn was mutated...
