Abstract excerpt
Northern analysis shows that Go alpha mRNA is highly expressed in immature germ cells from rat. Whereas alpha o2 mRNA is the major form in pachytene spermatocytes, a message of shorter chain length is present in large amount in haploid germ cells. This mRNA was detected with an oligonucleotide specific for the 3'-coding region of alpha o2, but did not hybridize to oligonucleotides specific for the 5'-untranslated...
