Increased hippocampal 5-lipoxygenase mRNA content in melatonin-deficient, pinealectomized rats.

abstract：:Genomic and cDNA clones encoding the rat D1 receptor were isolated and sequenced. Comparison of the D1 receptor cDNA and genomic sequences revealed that the rat D1 receptor gene is organized into two exons separated by a small intron in the 5' untranslated region of its mRNA. The transcription start site is located 86...
