Abstract excerpt
The organization of the tropoelastin gene is similar to that of other genes coding for matrix proteins in that the exons code for distinct domains of the protein. An unusual feature of tropoelastin expression is that the primary transcript of the gene coding for tropoelastin undergoes extensive,...
