Abstract
The cellular localization and specific expression of TR3 mRNA in rat t estis were investigated by the method of immunohistochemistry and in s itu hybridization. It was demonstrated that orphan receptor TR3 was ex pressed in a significant amount in rat testis and TR3 protein and mRNA were specifically localized in germ cells, suggesting that TR3 may ha ve an important function in regulating rat germ cell development.
