Abstract excerpt
The structure of the 42-kilobase (kb) long chicken progesterone receptor (cPR) gene and of all six transcripts that are detectable on Northern blots was determined. The first of 8 exons encodes the N-terminal region A/B which is highly divergent among different species and contains a constitutive transcription activation function. The DNA (DBD)- and hormone-binding domains (HBD) are assembled from 2 and 5 exons,...
