Coupling of hormone receptors to adenylate cyclase of different cells by cell fusion

Nature volume 268, pages 310–313 (1977)Cite this article

Abstract

A new hormone responsiveness can be conferred on an adenylate cyclase system by coupling it to a foreign hormone receptor. Receptor and enzyme from cells of different species can be compatible with each other.
