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.…
We have analyzed reticulocyte and leukocyte mRNAs isolated from a patient with congenital methemoglobinemia and pseudohermaphrodism. The cytochrome b5 cDNA sequences were amplified using specific oligonucleotide primers and the polymerase chain…
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…
