MOLECULAR DIVERSITY OF DOPAMINE D1-LIKE RECEPTORS IN THE EUROPEAN EEL

摘要

Three subtypes of D1-like receptors in the brain of the European ecl, Anguilla anguilla, were isolated through cDNA cloning. Two D1a-like transcripts (Anguilla D1 and D1 PCR) and one D1b/D5-like transcript (Anguilla D5) are expressed. In situ hybridization performed with the Anguilla D1 PCR cRNA as a probe revealed that the corresponding mRNA occurs in most of the dopamine target areas and mainly in regions near the ventricles.
