Abstract excerpt
The homozygous Brattleboro rat (di/di) synthesizes a VP precursor with an abnormal C terminus, which is not transported from the rough endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi apparatus. In addition, the phenotypic expression of co-existing peptides is differentially disturbed. Ang II and 7B2 are two of the peptides which are not detectable, whereas other peptides (e.g. galanin) are clearly expressed in mutant VP...
