Intron-exon organization of the active human protein S gene PS.alpha. and its pseudogene PS.beta.: Duplication and silencing during primate evolution
28 Aug 1990
Abstract excerpt
The human protein S locus on chromosome 3 consists of two protein S genes, PS alpha and PS beta. Here we report the cloning and characterization of both genes. Fifteen exons of the PS alpha gene were identified that together code for protein S mRNA as derived from the reported protein S cDNAs. Analysis by primer extension of liver protein S mRNA, however, reveals the presence of two mRNA forms that differ in the...
