Structural analysis of the 5'-flanking sequence of the mouse epidermal growth factor gene.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The 5'-flanking sequence of the mouse epidermal growth factor gene has been isolated from a mouse genomic DNA library. S1 nuclease mapping indicated that the transcription start sites used in the submaxillary gland and the kidney are identical. Computer-aided sequence comparisons have indicated regions of the gene which may be involved in hormonal regulation.

A Novel Vector for Expression/Secretion of Properly Folded Eukaryotic Proteins: a Comparative Study on Cytoplasmic and Periplasmic Expression of Human Epidermal Growth Factor in E. coli
Expression of eukaryotic proteins in E. coli often results in their aggregation. Proper folding and solubility of therapeutical proteins are the pre-requisite for their bioactivity. This is not achieved in cytoplasmic expression in E. coli because of the absence of disulfide bonds formation. A novel expression/secretion vector was constructed which exploited β-lactamase signal sequence to trans...
متن کاملDetermination the Effects of Epidermal Growth Factor on Developmental Rates of Pre-Implantation Mouse Embryo
Purpose: To determine the effects of different doses of addition of exogenous epidermal growth factor (EGF) on development of pre-implantation mouse embryo. Materials and Methods: Mouse zygotes, two cell, 8 cell any morulae were collected from superovulated NMRI mice 24, 48, 64 and 80 hrs after hCG injection, respectively. The obtained embryos were cultured on medium alone, medium with 1, 4 an...

The growth hormone receptor (GHR) is a member of cytokine/hematopoietin family that mediates the biological actions of growth hormone (GH) on target tissues. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the association of TG-repeat polymorphisms in the 5’-flanking region of bovine GHR gene with milk production traits and somatic cell score (SCS) in Holstein cattle of Iran. The part of 5’...

Many investigators are interested in finding the new cultural systems that can support the in vitro development of pre-implantation embryos better. Previous studies suggested that growth factors such as epidermal growth factor (EGF) are important in pre-implantation embryo development and implantation process. On the other hand, it is very important to support post thaw development of frozen em...
متن کاملMouse lactoferrin gene: a marker for estrogen and epidermal growth factor.
Lactoferrin mRNA in the 21-day-old mouse uterus can be increased several hundredfold by estrogen. The physiological role of lactoferrin in mouse uterus is unclear; however, it can be a useful marker for the estrogen action in the uterus. The structural organization and the chromosome location of the lactoferrin gene are similar to members of the transferrin gene family. At the 5' flanking regio...
