Abstract: | The determination of amino acid sequences representing the cell-surface receptors for transferrin,1 asialoglycoprotein,2 polymeric immunoglobulin (IgA/IgM),3 epidermal growth factor (EGF),4 lowdensity lipoprotein (LDL)5 and insulin6 has produced new paradingms for receptor architecture. This review examines common features of the protiens and describes the intriguing functional and evolutionary puzzles that have arisen from them. |
