Identification of RXFP2 splice variants in the ovary (Ov) and uterus (Ut). a. Agrose gel (1%) electrophoresis of PCR amplicons from both tissues. One kb Plus DNA Ladder (MM, molecular marker) (Invitrogen) was used as marker, and PPIA was used as an internal control. DNA was stained with ethidium bromide. The experiment was repeated with ovary and uterus cDNA derived from three monkeys; b. Simplified schematic representation of RXFP2 exons, transcripts and their corresponding encoding RXFP2 protein regions. LDLa, Low Density Lipoprotein Receptor Class A domain; LRR_RI, Leucine-rich repeats (LRRs), ribonuclease inhibitor (RI)-like subfamily; 7tm_1, 7 transmembrane receptor; ATG, translation start codon; TAG, translation stop codon.
