摘要
The distribution of the glycine receptor subunits alpha 1-3 and beta in the developing rat cerebellum was studied from postnatal day 1 to adulthood by means of quantitative RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry. qRT-PCR of postnatal cerebella indicated the presence of mRNA for each subunit, with a relative expression of alpha 2 > alpha 3 > alpha 1 > beta. The immunohistochemistry indicated a strong alpha 2 signal in the Purkinje cells, internal and external granular layers. The alpha 1-3 subunits had weak signals in the Purkinje cells and molecular layer. The alpha 1 subunit was expressed at a low level and was also found in the white matter. The function of these receptors in neuronal and glial plasma membranes in early postnatal development remains to be determined. (C) 2008 Published by Elsevier Ltd on behalf of ISDN.
