Molecular and functional characterization of a partial cDNA encoding a novel chicken brain melatonin receptor

Abstract

An approach based on homology probing was used to clone a partial cDNA encoding a novel melatonin (ML) receptor (MLR) from chicken (Gallus domesticus) brain. Based on available deduced amino-acid sequence, the chicken MLR (cMLR) displayed greater sequence homology to the frog (Xenopus) MLR than cloned human/mammalian receptors, with overall identities of 73% and 66%, respectively. In order to gain functional expression, a chimeric frog/chicken …
