A G-protein beta subunit that is expressed in the central nervous system of the mollusc Lymnaea stagnalis identified through cDNA cloning.
We have cloned cDNA encoding a G-protein beta subunit from the central nervous system (CNS) of the mollusc Lymnaea stagnalis. The deduced protein is very homologous to other metazoan beta subunits. Thus, the Lymnaea CNS can be used as a model system to study beta gamma subunits in their native setting since its large neurons can be manipulated and studied relatively easily in vivo.
