title: Cloning strategies for peptide hormone receptors.
abstract: With the advancement in molecular biology in the last decade many receptors have been cloned and the understanding of their mechanism of function has improved proportionally. In addition the concurrent discovery of receptor gene families has been used to design elegant cloning strategies which in turn have facilitated the characterization of new receptors and receptor subtypes. This review covers the most currently used cloning strategies and gives some examples.
