TL;DR: The complete 1,210-amino acid sequence of the human epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor precursor, deduced from cDNA clones derived from placental and A431 carcinoma cells, reveals close similarity between the entire predicted ν-erb-B mRNA oncogene product and the receptor transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains.

TL;DR: The entire 1,370-amino-acid sequence of the human insulin receptor precursor is deduced from a single complementary DNA clone, finding sequence homologies to human epidermal growth factor receptor and the members of the src family of oncogene products.

TL;DR: A novel potential cell surface receptor of the tyrosine kinase gene family has been identified and characterized by molecular cloning and its primary sequence is very similar to that of the human epidermal growth factor receptor and the v-erbB oncogene product.

TL;DR: The complete primary structure of the human IGF‐I receptor from cloned cDNA is determined and the deduced sequence predicts a 1367 amino acid receptor precursor, including a 30‐residue signal peptide, which is removed during translocation of the nascent polypeptide chain.

TL;DR: It is shown that Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) is a signalling receptor that is activated by LPS in a response that depends on LPS-binding protein and is enhanced by CD14, and that TLR2 is a direct mediator of signalling by L PS.
