During a search for new G-protein-linked receptors for dopamine and serotonin, we found a serotonin-4 receptor-like pseudogene. This receptor-like pseudogene is intronless, contains an in-frame stop codon following transmembrane-3, and has two one-nucleotide insertions between transmembrane-5 and -6 regions which alter the reading frame. The predicted amino acid sequence of the human pseudogene is about 35% identical with that of the rat serotonin-4 receptor.
在寻找多巴胺和5-羟色胺新的G蛋白偶联受体的过程中,我们发现了一个类5-羟色胺-4受体假基因。这个类受体假基因无内含子,在跨膜区3之后含有一个符合读框的终止密码子,并且在跨膜区5和6之间有两个单核苷酸插入,这改变了读框。人类假基因的预测氨基酸序列与大鼠5-羟色胺-4受体的预测氨基酸序列约有35%的同源性。
