V6 mRNA size and tissue distribution. RNA blot analysis of different adult rat tissue total cellular RNAs detect two sizes of V6 mRNAs: 3.5 kb and 3.0 kb (most abundant). Using equal amounts (5 µg) of RNAs per tissue and the 1.7-kb V6 cDNA as hybridization probe as described (15), the relative abundance of the V6 mRNA are noted: rat aortic smooth muscle cells (A-10 cells, ATCC, lane 11) > adrenal gland (lane 2) > pulmonary vascular tissue (lane 8) = rat aortic tissue (lane 9 with endothelium, lane 10 without endothelium) > brain (lane 3) = heart (lane 4) > kidney (lane 1) > skeletal muscle (lane 5) = lung (lane 7) = liver (lane 6). The relative location of the 28S and 18S ribosomal RNAs are indicated.
