abstract：:During the molecular cloning of the ovine testicular follicle-stimulating (FSH) receptor that couples to the Gs-type effector systems, we discovered novel cDNA clones that were highly homologous. Some of these clones contained an insert of 1,584 bp, which consisted of a divergent 3' region spliced with a 5' region tha...
