    ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • Downregulation of endogenously expressed REEP2 in the chemosensory enteroendocrine GLUTag cell line dramatically reduced sensitivity of endogenous sweet receptors
  • the p.Val36Glu variant has a dominant-negative effect and inhibited the normal binding of wild-type REEP2 to membranes, and the p.Phe72Tyrdecreased the affinity of the mutant protein for membranes
  • REEP2 downregulation leads to expansion of ER sheets in COS7 cells
