abstract：:Using RT-PCR we distinguished mRNAs for all known G-protein coupled serotonin receptors expressed in various rat and porcine blood vessels. Nearly all vessels expressed 5HT1D beta, 5-HT2A, 5-HT2B, 5-HT4, and 5-HT7 receptor mRNA to different extents. New splice variants of the porcine 5-HT4 receptor were observed. Simi...
