Abstract excerpt
The V(2) vasopressin receptor gene contains an alternative splice site in exon-3, which leads to the generation of two splice variants (V(2a) and V(2b)) first identified in the kidney. The open reading frame of the alternatively spliced V(2b) transcript encodes a truncated receptor, showing the same amino acid sequence as the canonical V(2a) receptor up to the sixth transmembrane segment, but displaying a...
