Deletion polymorphism in the coding region of the human NESP55 alternative transcript of GNAS1.

Abstract excerpt

NESP55, a novel member of the chromogranins, was originally implicated as a precursor of a peptide LSAL with 5-HT1B receptor antagonist activity. In humans, NESP55 (MIM 139320) is encoded by an alternative transcript of GNAS1, the gene encoding the guanine nucleotide-binding alpha subunit of G(S). As a result of the potential relevance of NESP55 to serotoninergic neurotransmission, we screened its sequence using...
