Overview of GHRLOS exon 1. This is a TIFF file showing GHRLOS transcription start sites and exon 1 sequence. Exon 1 and exons I, II and III, all of which splice into the 106 bp exon 1, are depicted as black boxes. Exons with transcription start sites are indicated by arrows in the direction of transcription. The sequence of the 106 bp exon 1, which splices into upstream exons, is shaded in grey. Transcription start sites in exon 1, previously determined via 5' RACE (Δ) and CAGE (Cap Analysis of Gene Expression) (*), are indicated, and the exact transcription start site nucleotides are underlined and in bold. For comparison, the sequence of the reference (sense) exon 4 of the ghrelin gene [GenBank:NM_016362] is shown in red. GHRLOS exon 1 sequence is shown in upper case, while intron sequence is shown in lower case.
