Abstract excerpt
Analysis of the 5'-flanking regions of the Purkinje (P-) dystrophin genes and mRNAs in different species revealed strong sequence conservation but functional diversity. Multiple transcription initiation sites were identified in cerebella and muscles, tissues expressing P-dystrophin. The predominant initiation site was conserved, with another muscle-specific site located upstream. Despite sequence homology,...
