Characterization of ciliary targeting sequence of rat melanin-concentrating hormone receptor 1

Highlights ► MCHR1 localizes to primary cilia when transiently expressed in hRPE1 cells. ► A242G in the third mutant intracellular loop reduces ciliary localization of MCHR1. ► The MCHR1 C-terminal tail seems unnecessary for its trafficking to the ciliary membrane. ► This study implies a relationshi...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights ► MCHR1 localizes to primary cilia when transiently expressed in hRPE1 cells. ► A242G in the third mutant intracellular loop reduces ciliary localization of MCHR1. ► The MCHR1 C-terminal tail seems unnecessary for its trafficking to the ciliary membrane. ► This study implies a relationship between the ciliary MCH-MCHR1 system and ciliopathy.
