abstract：:The ATP-sensitive K channel (K-ATP channel) in pancreatic beta cells is believed to play a crucial role in glucose-stimulated insulin release. We investigated whether defects in the recently cloned gene for a putative subunit of this channel (KATP-2) could be a cause of diabetes in Japanese patients. The coding region...

abstract：:5'-RACE and genomic cloning were used to determine that the mouse TBP (mTBP) gene consists of one 5'-terminal non-coding exon followed by seven protein-coding exons. The region upstream of the first exon lacks a TATA-box. Hence, as with the case of other genes carrying TATA-less promoter, transcription starts from a c...
