| abstractText | As a step toward understanding the transcriptional regulation of the adrenocorticotropin receptor (ACTH-R) gene, we examined the full length cDNA sequence of the mouse ACTH-R by rapid amplification of cDNA ends, and the organization of the gene. Mouse ACTH-R mRNA consists of 374 bp in the 5'-untranslated region (UTR), 888 bp in the coding sequence, and 445 bp in the 3'-UTR, the 1707 bp being fairly compatible with the 1.8-kb adrenal mRNA detected by Northern analysis. The mouse ACTH-R gene consists of at least four exons; the first three exons encode 5'-UTR and the fourth exon encodes part of 5'-UTR, the entire coding region, and the whole of 3'-UTR. We also defined two mRNA species, one with and one without the 57-bp exon 2, produced by alternative splicing. |
