abstractText | A genomic DNA clone corresponding to the mouse serum amyloid P component (SAP) has been isolated and characterized for the first time. The numbers of exons, the relative sites of intron/exon junctions, and the size of the coding region for mature SAP protein are all in complete agreement with those of the human SAP gene. In the 5'-flanking region of the mouse SAP gene, there is a small DNA segment (43-base pairs) which is highly homologous with the corresponding region of the human SAP gene. However, most parts of the 5'-flanking regions are not conserved between the mouse and human SAP genes, and several phorbol ester-responsive element-like sequences are present only in the mouse SAP gene. |
