The structures of the mouse and human urocortin genes (Ucn and UCN).

Genomics - 15 May 1998

Zhao L, Donaldson C J, Smith G W, Vale W W

Abstract excerpt

The mouse and human urocortin genes (Ucn and UCN, respectively) have been isolated, characterized, and found to have very similar structures. Each has two exons, and the entire coding region is located in the second exon, as is the case for the gene of the related peptide, corticotropin-releasing...
