Revised genomic structure of the human ghrelin gene and identification of novel exons, alternative splice variants and natural antisense transcripts
BACKGROUND: Ghrelin is a multifunctional peptide hormone expressed in a range of normal tissues and pathologies. It has been reported that the human ghrelin gene consists of five exons which span 5 kb of genomic DNA on chromosome 3 and includes a 20 bp non-coding first exon (20 bp exon 0). The avail...
