Abstract excerpt
Complementary DNAs encoding two nonallelic PTH/PTH-related peptide (PTHrP) receptor (PPR) isoforms, xPPR-A and xPPR-B, were isolated from a kidney complementary DNA library of the tetraploid African clawed frog Xenopus laevis. Both isoforms differ in their coding region by 19 amino acids, and lack the region corresponding to the mammalian exon E2. When expressed in mammalian COS-7 cells, both receptor isoforms...
