Abstract excerpt
In preparation for gene manipulative experiments in mice we have isolated genomic clones covering the entire murine cathepsin K gene (Ctsk). Sequence analysis revealed that the gene spans 10.1 kb and contains eight exons and seven introns. The sizes of the coding exons 2-7 as well as the pattern of intron sizes are conserved between the human and mouse cathepsin K genes. Genomic organization of the mouse...
