The intron-exon structure of the porcine E-selectin-encoding gene. Academic Article uri icon

Overview

abstract

  • We have cloned and sequenced the gene encoding porcine E-selectin. The gene comprises 12 exons and 11 introns. Two pseudoexons are contained within intron 4 and intron 6. These sequences are similar to the corresponding exons in the human E-selectin sequence; however, they are not present in the porcine E-selectin-encoding cDNA. Transcription starts at position -498 relative to the translation initiation site. The first ATG is located within exon 2. Translation stops in exon 11 leaving exon 12 untranslated in its entirety.
