Rapid bursts of androgen-binding protein (Abp) gene duplication occurred independently in diverse mammals
12 Feb 2008
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The draft mouse (Mus musculus) genome sequence revealed an unexpected proliferation of gene duplicates encoding a family of secretoglobin proteins including the androgen-binding protein (ABP) alpha, beta and gamma subunits. Further investigation of 14 alpha-like (Abpa) and 13 beta- or gamma-like (Abpbg) undisrupted gene sequences revealed a rich diversity of developmental stage-, sex- and...
