摘要:
An examination of mRNA expression of the serotonin genes encoding both psi 5HT(1D alpha) and the related 5HT(1D alpha), demonstrated that the pseudogene is transcribed, and has a tissue distribution similar to the 5HT(1D alpha) receptor-encoding gene. This psi 5HT(1D alpha) transcript is capable of being translated into a polypeptide of only 28 amino acids in length, and the psi 5HT(1D alpha) pseudogene most likely arose from a gene duplication or transposition event.
