The acid lipase gene family: three enzymes, one highly conserved gene structure.
Human gastric lipase (HGL; triacylglycerol lipase; EC 3.1.1.3) plays an important role in the digestion of dietary triglycerides in the gastrointestinal tract, especially in patients suffering from pancreatic lipase deficiencies. The enzyme is secreted by the fundic mucosa of the stomach and hydrolyzes the ester bonds of triglycerides under acidic pH conditions, while cholesteryl esters are not...
متن کاملGene Family: Structure, Organization and Evolution
Gene families are considered as groups of homologous genes which they share very similar sequences and they may have identical functions. Members of gene families may be found in tandem repeats or interspersed through the genome. These sequences are copies of the ancestral genes which have underwent changes. The multiple copies of each gene in a family were constructed based on gene duplicati...
متن کاملOrganization of the human lipoprotein lipase gene and evolution of the lipase gene family.
The human lipoprotein lipase gene was cloned and characterized. It is composed of 10 exons spanning approximately equal to 30 kilobases. The first exon encodes the 5'-untranslated region, the signal peptide plus the first two amino acids of the mature protein. The next eight exons encode the remaining 446 amino acids, and the tenth exon encodes the long 3'-untranslated region of 1948 nucleotide...
متن کاملStructure of the canine pancreatic lipase gene.
Identification of three overlapping clones in a canine genomic lambda phage library allowed us to determine a detailed restriction enzyme map of the primary transcriptional unit of the pancreatic lipase gene (15.5 kilobase pairs) as well as 15 and 6 kilobase pairs of 5'- and 3'-flanking regions, respectively. DNA sequence analysis provided the primary structure of (a) 1,345 nucleotides (nt) of ...
متن کاملHuman FSHβ subunit gene is highly conserved
FSH is a pituitary gonadotropin that along with LH plays a key role in the regulation of gonadal function. The gonadotropic hormones are composed of two subunits, the common subunit and the hormone-specific subunit, which determines the binding to specific receptors and induction of biological response. Unlike the LH gene, shown in earlier studies to harbour several amino acid-altering polymorp...
