Placenta-Specific INSL4 Expression Is Mediated by a Human Endogenous Retrovirus Element1

1 Apr 2003

Abstract excerpt

The human insulin-family genes regulate cell growth, metabolism, and tissue-specific functions. Among these different members, only INSL4 gene shows a predominant placenta-specific expression. Here, we show that the human INSL4 gene is tightly clustered with three other members of the human insulin superfamily (RLN1, RLN2, and INSL6) within a 176-kilobase genomic segment on chromosome region 9p23.3-p24.1. We also...
