| Abstract |
There are three isoforms of calcitonin receptors (CTRs). The first type (type 1) has 479 amino acids in rat and 482 amino acids in porcine. The second type (type 2) has a 39 amino acid insertion in the second extracellular domain. The third type (type 3) has a 16 amino acid insertion in the first intracellular domain. The CTR which has been isolated from a human ovarian carcinoma cell line belongs to type 3. Using RT-PCR with primers whose sequences correspond to the human CTR cDNA, we analyzed the expression of the CTR transcripts in seven human tumor cell lines and surgical specimens. The CTR m-RNA were found in all samples. Transcripts which were 48bp shorter than that of the type 3 human CTR were detected, but not transcripts of type 2 and type 3. Since the structure of this CTR is same as that of the type 1 rat and porcine CTRs, we termed it the human type 1 CTR. PCR studies using human genomic DNA as a template revealed that the 48bp sequence constitutes an exon. These results indicate that the type 1 and the type 3 human CTRs are generated by alternative splicing and a majority of human CTR transcripts is type 1.
