Abstract excerpt
The human ELAC2 gene was the first candidate prostate cancer susceptibility gene identified by linkage analysis and positional cloning. DNA sequence indicates a protein of 826 amino acids encoded by 24 exons. In the present study, we characterized the coding sequence of chimpanzee and gorilla ELAC2 orthologs by direct sequencing of genomic fragments, and of cynomolgus monkey and rat orthologs by screening cDNA...
