title: A pertussis toxin resistant alpha 2-adrenoceptor pathway in fish melanophores.
abstract: 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.
