Abstract
CART was identified as a novel mRNA regulated by psychostimulant drugs. CAR T peptides appear to be neurotransmitters involved in a variety of function s such as feeding. The mouse gene has been characterized and localized to C hromosome 13. The processing of CART peptides is evident in Western blottin g studies. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
