Genomic cloning, mapping, structure and promoter analysis of HEADPIN, a serpin which is down-regulated in head and neck cancer cells
1 Jul 2000
Abstract excerpt
Headpin is a novel serine proteinase inhibitor (serpin) that is down-regulated in squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity and in squamous cell carcinoma cell lines of the head and neck. Using a panel of 18q21.3 YAC clones, we mapped and cloned the HEADPIN gene. The gene spans 10 kb and is composed of eight exons and seven introns. The genomic structure is identical with some other ovalbumin serpins...
