Pharmacological and signaling analysis of human chemokine receptor CCR-7 stably expressed in HEK-293 cells: high-affinity binding of recombinant ligands MIP-3beta and SLC stimulates multiple signaling cascades.

abstract：:The fragile X syndrome, one of the most common forms of inherited mental retardation, is caused by an expansion of a polymorphic CGG repeat upstream the coding region of the FMR1 gene. These expansions are associated with hypermethylation of the FMR1 gene, which results in the absence of the gene product, the FMR1 pro...
