Abstract excerpt
Two cDNAs encoding novel isoforms of Xenopus laevis melatonin receptors were cloned using PCR primers specific for the X. laevis-melanophore Mel1c melatonin receptor described in a recent publication. The novel isoforms were highly homologous to the described frog Mel1c cDNA, although the C-terminal tail of both was shorter by 65 amino acid residues. Nucleotide sequences of these novel isoforms, called...
