Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the untranslated regulatory regions of genes may result in abnormal gene expression or transcriptional regulation. In this study, we characterize the ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC) mRNA isoforms of the X-linked OTC gene involved in the urea formation in the liver. Our data revealed that two major transcripts (OTC-t1 and OTC-t2) are more highly expressed than any of the other isoforms in all the...
