Abstract
Using the reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, we detected a single form of phenylethanolamine N-methyltransferase (PNMT) mRNA i n hypothalamus and medulla/pons and two forms in cerebellum. These fin dings indicate that the PNMT gene is expressed in these brain areas an d suggest that tissue specific splicing of PNMT mRNA may occur. (C) 19 98 Elsevier Science B.V.
