Abstract excerpt
Holocarboxylase synthetase (HLCS) is an enzyme that catalyzes the incorporation of biotin into apo-carboxylases, and its deficiency causes biotin-responsive multiple carboxylase deficiency. The reported sequences of cDNA for human HLCS from liver, lymphocyte, and KG-1 myeloid cell lines differ at their 5' regions. To elucidate variations of the human HLCS mRNA and longer 5' cDNA ends, we performed screening of...
