Cloning of the Amino-terminal and 5′-Flanking Region of the Human MUC5AC Mucin Gene and Transcriptional Up-regulation by Bacterial Exoproducts
1 Mar 1998
Abstract excerpt
To obtain gene regulatory sequence for the mucin gene MUC5AC, we have isolated the MUC5AC amino terminus cDNA and 5'-flanking region. This was possible through the use of rapid amplification of cDNA ends-polymerase chain reaction (RACE-PCR) in which the 5' sequence of the human gastric mucin cDNA HGM-1 (1) was used to design the first MUC5AC-specific primer. Primers for subsequent rounds of RACE were designed...
