Abstract excerpt
Human placental lactogen (hPL) and growth hormone (hGH) are thought to be derived from a common ancestral gene and have similar nucleotide and amino acid sequences. Although the genes are similar in structure, they are expressed in different tissues. A transcriptional enhancer has been found 2.2 kilobases 3' of the hPL3 gene at the distal extreme of the hPL/hGH gene cluster. This enhancer is at least 20-fold more...
