abstract：:We describe the genomic organization and the functional promoter of the monocyte specific gene Dif-2, the human homologue to genes in mouse (gly96) and rat (PRG1), that is downregulated during cell differentiation. The Dif-2 gene consists of two exons and a single intron of 112 bp in length. RNase protection assay ind...
