Nucleotide sequences of a 7997-base pair SacI fragment spanning 3643 base pairs of the upstream promoter region to exon 4 of the rat cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase gene (CYP7) have been determined. DNase I footprinting and electrophoretic mobility…
Total RNA was extracted from a variety of rabbit tissues and reverse transcribed for use in the polymerase chain reaction technique. Using primers designed to amplify the membrane-bound liver cytochrome b5 cDNA, products of two sizes were observed.…
This is the first isolation and characterization of a cytochrome b5(b5) gene. The bovine b5 gene is quite large, spanning about 28 kb and contains six exons. One of these exons appears to code for a reticulocyte-specific sequence similar to that…
