Characterisation of an N-terminal variant of acetyl-CoA carboxylase-alpha: expression in human tissues and evolutionary aspects.

Abstract excerpt

mRNA encoding a variant acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC)-alpha isozyme, transcribed from a downstream promoter, PIII, was detected in human tissues. Such exon 5A-containing transcripts (E5A-mRNA) encode ACC-alpha with a distinct N-terminus, with 15/17 residues identical to those encoded by the ovine mRNA. In the current study we used antisera directed against the E5A N-terminus to verify that ovine E5A translates are...
