Exposure of galactosylceramide to galactose oxidase in liposomes: dependence on lipid environment and ceramide composition.

abstract：:Two chimeric receptors were constructed by transposing the coding regions for the putative N-terminal domains of the human calcitonin (hCTR) and glucagon (hGGR) receptors. These receptors were stably expressed as glycosylated proteins with molecular masses of 80 kDa for the calcitonin receptor N-terminus chimera (NtCT...
