The open reading frame (ORF) encoding a novel G protein a subunit, Lo Ga o , was cloned from the parthenogenetic rice water weevil, Lissorhoptrus oryzophilus Kuschel (Coleoptera: Curculionidae). The Lo Ga o ORF encodes a protein of 354 amino acid residues. The deduced protein sequence shares high ho

β¦ Synopsis
We have isolated from the olfactory and olfactory organ, G b immunoreactivity was almost organ of the American lobster (Homarus americanus) exclusively confined to neurites: the neuropil regions two cDNA clones with homology to b subunits of G of the brain and the outer dendrites of the olfactory proteins. LobG b1 contained a complete open reading receptor neurons. Coimmunoprecipitation revealed frame that predicted an amino acid sequence with that lobster G b interacted with both G as and G aq . ΓΊ80% identity to G b sequences from other species. LobG b1 is likely to be involved in a wide range of LobG b2 was a fragment of an open reading frame signaling events including olfactory transduction and whose predicted amino acid sequence had 65-69% synaptic transmission in the brain. α§ 1998 John Wiley & identity to other G b sequences.

N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NRs) play an important role in basal ganglia function. By using in situ hybridization with ribonucleotide probes, we investigated the regional and cellular distribution of NR subunit mRNA expression in the human basal ganglia: caudate nucleus, putamen, lateral globus
Evidence is accumulating that glutamate-mediated excitotoxicity plays an important role in neuronal degeneration in Parkinson's disease (PD). In addition, alterations in excitatory amino acid neurotransmission in the basal ganglia contribute to the clinical manifestations of motor dysfunction. Howev
