Abstract

We cloned and analyzed a 3.8 kb EcoRI fragment of the rat NMDAR1 gene. It contains 3 kb of promoter/enhancer region, exon 1 and a portion of intron 1. Two major transcription start sites were identified at -276 and -238 from the first nucleotide in codon 1. One GSG and two SP1 motifs, but no TATA/CAAT boxes, exist in the region proximal to the transcription start sites. Our results suggest that NMDAR1 has the characteristics of a housekeeping gene and may be regulated by immediate-early genes.
