Structure of the chromosomal gene for human serum prealbumin

H Sasaki et al. Gene. 1985.

Abstract

The human prealbumin gene has been cloned and its complete nucleotide sequence determined. The gene has a size of about 6.9 kb and is composed of four exons and three introns. Two Alu family sequences having opposing polarity were found in introns. In the 5'-flanking region, we found two overlapping sequences which have extensive homology to the glucocorticoid-responsive element. Three sequences identical with the enhancer core sequence were identified in introns and the 3'-flanking region. Unusual tandem repeats of a sequence, TTTTG, were also found in the 5'-flanking region and introns.
