Evolution of the apolipoprotein E receptor 2 gene by exon loss.

Journal of biochemistry - 1 Aug 1998

Abstract excerpt

The apolipoprotein E receptor 2 (apoER2) gene consists of a mosaic of exons, which may have been assembled by "exon shuffling." Analysis of apoER2 transcripts in several species reveals a lost repeat in the ligand-binding domain of primate apoER2. A pseudo-exon found in the primate apoER2 genes c...
