Cloning and characterization of the gene encoding human osteoprotegerin/osteoclastogenesis‐inhibitory factor
15 Jun 1998
Abstract excerpt
The human osteoprotegerin (OPG)-osteoclastogenesis-inhibitory factor (OCIF) gene has been cloned and characterized. The OPG-OCIF gene is a single-copy gene consisting of five exons, and spans 29 kb of the human genome. All the exon/intron boundaries comply with the GT/AG rule. The translation-termination codon is present in exon 5 and a typical poly(A)-addition signal resides 173-nucleotides downstream of the...
