| abstractText | The complete 3' UTR sequence encoded by the human aquaporin-1 gene is reported. The sequence encompassed by two cDNA clones showed, 33 nucleotides of 5' UTR sequence, a coding sequence of 807 nucleotides and 1886 nucleotides corresponding to the complete 3' UTR sequence. High similarity with 3' UTR sequences from rat and mouse counterparts was found. Northern blot analysis of several human tissues revealed a 2.8 kbp transcript. These data confirm the existence of water channels in the human retinal pigment epithelium. |
