Abstract excerpt
We report here on the isolation and sequencing of feline estrogen receptor alpha (ER-alpha) mRNA. Feline ER-alpha showed three alternative 5' untranslated exons and a common transcript of 6183 base pairs (bp). The putative coding sequence (1788 bp) and the unusually long 3' untranslated (3'-UTR) region (4305 bp) displayed high sequence similarity with human ER-alpha. A highly conserved sequence block was found in...
