摘要:
We have isolated and sequenced human genomic DNA clones encoding the Ras-related GTP-binding protein, Rad. The gene spans 3.75 kb and consists of five exons and four introns. Translation initiates from the first of two in-frame methionine residues in the second exon. Several potential transcription cis-elements were revealed throughout the 1.7 kb 5'-flanking region, including 'E box' and CArG binding sites for regulators of transcription in muscle.
