Molecular and pharmacological characterization of muscarinic receptors in retinal pigment epithelium: role in light-adaptive pigment movements.

abstract：:As an initial step to study the function of the gene encoding the human neuropeptide FF (NPFF), we cloned a 4.7-kb sequence from the promoter region. Primer extension and 5'-rapid amplification of cDNA ends revealed multiple transcription initiation sites. Northern blot analysis of the mRNA expression revealed a speci...
