Lactoferrin gene expression and regulation: an overview
1 Feb 2002
Abstract excerpt
Lactoferrin is highly conserved among human, mouse, bovine, and porcine species. The numbers of amino acids encoded by 15 of the 17 exons in these species are identical, and in 12 locations, they have identical codon interruptions at the intron-exon splice junctions. However, lactoferrin expression is both ubiquitous and species, tissue, and cell-type specific. It is differentially regulated through multiple...
