abstract：:Three unique 5' untranslated regions (UTRs) have been characterized for human microtubule-associated protein-2 (MAP-2) transcripts. All three UTRs shared a common 171-bp sequence adjacent to the MAP-2 coding region and then diverged upstream. The size of the unique upstream sequence was 281, 146, or 104 bp. PCR of gen...
