20090081693 | MOLECULE ASSOCIATING WITH INTRACELLULAR C-TERMINAL DOMAIN OF RECEPTOR - Concerning intracellular signal transduction mechanism, there has been drawn a novel hypothesis that, even in the case where phosphorylation does not occur in the intracellular C-terminal domain of a receptor, an unknown molecule associates with the Pro-C terminal domain of a G protein-coupled receptor for each chemokine and thus leukocyte chemotaxis depending on the receptor is controlled. To examine this hypothesis and clarify therapeutic targets in inflammatory diseases as well as other various diseases, attempts are made to search for a CCR2-binding protein. | 03-26-2009 |
