Regulation of functional cell surface expression by oligomerization and N-linked glycosylation of membrane proteins

Oligomerization and N-linked glycosylation are processes thought to be initiated in the ER during translation and act to regulate the trafficking and functional surface expression of many ion channels and G protein-coupled receptors. HCN channels are known to form tetrameric channels from identical...
