Abstract
Three inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP3R) cDNAs, designated IP3R-II, -III, and -IV, were cloned from a mouse placenta cDNA library. All three display strong homology in membrane-spanning domains M7 and M8 to the originally cloned cerebellar IP3R-I, with divergences predominantly in cytoplasmic domains. Levels of mRNA for the three additional IP3Rs in general are substantially lower than for IP3R-I, though in the gastrointestinal tract the levels of IP3R-III may be comparable to IP3R-I. Cerebellar Purkinje cells express at least two and possibly three distinct IP3Rs, suggesting heterogeneity of IP3 action within a single cell.
