Structural Analysis of the Gene Encoding the Murine Interleukin-11 Receptor α-Chain and a Related Locus
1 Jun 1996
Abstract excerpt
In this study the gene for the murine interleukin-11 receptor alpha chain (IL-11Ralpha) has been characterized. The gene spans 9 kilobase pairs of DNA, and the organization of its 14 exons conforms to the pattern observed for other members of the hematopoietin receptor family. Analysis of the 5' end of the cDNA using 5' RACE showed that the first two exons, designated exons 1a and 1b, are spliced to form...
