Abstract: In order to clone the human gene of dopamine D2 receptor for treatment of Parkinson disease, total cellular RNA was isolated from human fetal brain and reversely transcribed into cDNA, which was amplified by PCR with the specific primers. The PCR products were inserted into pGEM-T vector for sequencing after emzymatic analysis. The results showed that two fragments were obtained. One, 1 445 bp, was identical to that in the GenBank(NM000795)and the other, 1 305 bp with a deletion of 140 bp, was different from all the three transcripts of D2 receptors previously described and it may be a novel transcript.

Key words: dopamine receptor, Parkinson disease, gene cloning
