Abstract excerpt
We identified the gene TSGA14, encoding the testis-specific protein A14 and located 50 kb proximal to the imprinted gene MEST in a head-to-head orientation. TSGA14 has at least two transcripts: a long-type (l-type) transcript, and a short-type (s-type) transcript. Since the COPG2IT1 gene in the vicinity of MEST has been reported to be imprinted, we presumed that TSGA14 might also be imprinted. We thus analyzed...
