Abstract excerpt
Carnitine is a molecule with well-documented pleiotropic functions whose biosynthesis involves four catalytic steps. Here, we report a detailed analysis of the expression and transcriptional control of TMLH gene, which codifies for the first enzyme of carnitine biosynthesis. TMLH maps at the extreme end of Xq28, a chromosomal region of high genomic instability. By 5' and 3' RACE, we identified and mapped two...
