title: Molecular cloning of a G-protein alpha i subunit from the lobster olfactory organ.
abstract: A G-protein alpha subunit was cloned from a lobster olfactory organ cDNA library and sequenced. The clone encodes an alpha i subunit based on the 80% identity its predicted amino acid sequence shares with mammalian alpha i subunits. On Northern blots of polyadenylated RNA, the clone hybridized to a 5 kb species from several tissues.
