Genomic structure and transcription of a murine odorant receptor gene: differential initiation of transcription in the olfactory and testicular cells.

abstract：:A novel human gene containing an ankyrin repeat and BTB/POZ domains (BPOZ) was isolated from a human leukocyte cDNA library. The cDNA sequence contains an open reading frame of 1434 bp that encodes 478 amino acid residues with a predicted molecular mass of 53.9 kDa. Sequence pattern analysis shows that BPOZ contains a...
