Genomic organization and structure of the 5'-flanking region of the TEX101 gene: alternative promoter usage and splicing generate transcript variants with distinct 5'-untranslated region.

Abstract excerpt

A novel germ cell-specific antigen, TEX101 (TES101-reactive protein), was previously identified using a monoclonal antibody directed against mouse testicular cells. TEX101 is specifically located on the plasma membrane of germ cells, and its expression in gonadal organs is sexually dimorphic. To understand the fundamental mechanism directing gene expression, the genomic organization of TEX101 was studied. The...
