Localization of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptor rho 3 subunit in rat retina

Neuroreport. 1997 Mar 3;8(4):925-7. doi: 10.1097/00001756-199703030-00022.

Abstract

We used digoxigenin-labelled single strand DNA probes to examine the expression of the mRNA encoding gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor rho 3 subunit in sections of the adult rat retina. Transcript for the rho 3 subunit was found in cell somata of a portion of cells lying in the ganglion cell layer.
