Abstract
Cloned cDNA encoding a putative member of GABA receptor rho-subunit cl ass was isolated from rat-retina-mRNA-derived libraries. The cDNA enco des a signal peptide of 21 amino acids followed by the mature rho 3 su bunit sequence of 443 amino acids. The proposed amino acid sequence ex hibits 63 and 61% homology to the previously-reported human rho 1 and rat rho 2 sequences, respectively. Northern blot analysis demonstrated the expression of mRNA for rho 3 subunit in retina.
