Repeated sequences were identified in the 5' region of the human Tg gene in introns 4, 5, 10, and 11. Another repeated cluster was located in the 5' flanking sequences, approximately 6 Kb upstream from the first exon. The nucleotide sequence analysis indicated that these repeated sequences are members of the Alu family. The homology between the sequences of the intron 4 and the Alu consensus was 86%. The Alu member studied was oriented in the direction of transcription of the Tg.
在人Tg基因的5'区域的内含子4、5、10和11中鉴定出重复序列。另一个重复簇位于5'侧翼序列中,距离第一个外显子约6 Kb上游。核苷酸序列分析表明,这些重复序列是Alu家族的成员。内含子4序列与Alu共有序列之间的同源性为86%。所研究的Alu成员的方向与Tg的转录方向一致。
