Steve: So you might have a
gene for a particular brain
receptor or, I think what you talk about in the article is not actually the
structure of the
receptor molecule, but the amount of
receptors that you actually produce?
The most common, found in nearly two - thirds of the samples, were abnormalities in
genes responsible for the androgen
receptor — a cell
structure that sends growth signals in response to the male hormone androgen.
Recent work indicates that individual T lymphocytes possess
receptors that interact with both thymus - dependent antigens and MHC

genes encoding olfactory and vomeronasal
receptors have complex, multi-exonic
structures that generate different isoforms.
