A pertussis toxin resistant alpha 2-adrenoceptor pathway in fish melanophores.
The effect of pertussis toxin (PT) on the aggregation of pigment granules in melanophores from cuckoo wrasse (Labrus ossifagus L.) was studied. The results indicate the presence of a PT resistant alpha 2-adrenoceptor signal transduction mechanism.
