- 1 November 1989
Biology
Cloning and sequencing of cDNAs isolated from a rat cortex cDNA library reveals that a gene family encodes several highly homologous K+ channel forming (RCK) proteins, which suggest the molecular basis for the diversity of voltage‐gated K+ channels in mammalian brain is based on the expression of several RCK proteins by a family of genes.

Biology
Primary structure and functional characterization of a Drosophila dopamine receptor with high homology to human D1/5 receptors.
- F. Gotzes S. Balfanz A. Baumann
- 1994
Biology
In situ hybridization revealed that the Drosophila dopamine receptor is highly expressed in the somata of the optic lobes, which suggests that the receptor might be involved in the processing of visual information and/or visual learning in invertebrates.
Amtyr1: characterization of a gene from honeybee (Apis mellifera) brain encoding a functional tyramine receptor.
- W. Blenau S. Balfanz A. Baumann
- 1 March 2000
Biology
Receptor-encoding mRNA has a wide-spread distribution in the brain and subesophageal ganglion of the honeybee, suggesting that this tyramine receptor is involved in sensory signal processing as well as in higher-order brain functions.
Molecular and functional characterization of an octopamine receptor from honeybee (Apis mellifera) brain
- L. Grohmann W. Blenau J. Erber P. Ebert T. Strünker A. Baumann
- 1 August 2003
Biology
The cloning and functional characterization of the first octopamine receptor from the honeybee, Apis mellifera, are reported, suggesting that this octopamines receptor is involved in the processing of sensory inputs, antennal motor outputs and higher‐order brain functions.
Characterization of a Dopamine D1 Receptor from Apis mellifera: Cloning, Functional Expression, Pharmacology, and mRNA Localization in the Brain
- W. Blenau J. Erber A. Baumann
- 1 January 1998
Biology
The results suggest that this dopamine receptor from the honeybee Apis mellifera is involved in signal processing of visual and olfactory information in the honeybees.
Shaker encodes a family of putative potassium channel proteins in the nervous system of Drosophila.
- O. Pongs N. Kecskemethy A. Ferrús
- 1 April 1988
Biology
The structure of the Shaker transcription unit and the properties of the encoded Shaker protein family provide a molecular basis for A channel diversity in excitable cells.
