abstractText | We detected alternative splicing of the mouse brain type ryanodine receptor (RyR3) mRNA. The splicing variant was located in the transmembrane segment. The non-splicing type (RyR3-II) included a stretch of 341 bp, and that of the 13th codon was stop codon TAA. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis shows that RyR3-II mRNA was expressed in various peripheral tissues and brain at all developmental stages. However, interestingly, the splicing type (RyR3-I) mRNA was detected only in the cerebrum. These findings suggest that the splicing variants RyR3-I and RyR3-II may generate functional differences of RyR3 in a tissue-specific manner. |
