The 5′ flanking region of human ε-globin gene

Polymorphism of 5′ Flanking Region of Lactoferrin Gene in Khuzestan Buffaloes

Lactoferrin is a glycoprotein with molecular weight 80 kDa iron-binding bond, which is composed of 690 amino acids. In most mammalian body fluids such as sweat, semen, tears, and saliva and milk neutrophil granules there. bovine lactoferrin gene be associated with susceptibility/resistance to mastitis and even with some economically important production traits. This study was carried out to det...

Cloning and functional characterization of the 5'-flanking region of human methionine adenosyltransferase 1A gene.

Methionine adenosyltransferase (MAT) is an essential cellular enzyme which catalyses the formation of S-adenosylmethionine, the principal methyl donor and precursor for polyamines. In mammals, two different genes, MAT1A and MAT2A, encode for liver-specific and non-liver-specific MAT respectively. We previously described a switch in the MAT expression from MAT1A to MAT2A in human liver cancer, w...

Acetylation of a Specific Promoter Nucleosome Accompanies Activation of the ε-Globin Gene by b-Globin Locus Control Region HS2

Organization and evolution of the human growth hormone receptor gene 5'-flanking region.

Previous studies have identified eight variant human GH receptor (hGHR) messenger RNA (mRNAs; V1-V8), that differ in their 5'-untranslated regions (5'UTRs) but splice into the same site just upstream of the translation start site in exon 2; thus, they encode the same protein. Here we report a novel variant, V9, and describe the mapping of all nine 5'UTR sequences within 40 kb upstream of exon 2...
