[The structure of PstI-repeats adjacent to the growth hormone gene and transcription of the family of PstI-repeats in various bovine organs].

Previously cloned PstI-repeats located in 5'- and 3'-flanking sequences of the bovine growth hormone gene were studied in details. The size of the repeats (1,200-2,000 b.p.), the degree of homology, the orientation and direction of their transcription were determined. They were shown to be transcribed in thymus, liver, kidneys, pancreas, adenohypophysis, spleen, although with different efficiency. The transcripts are polyadenylated and heterogeneous in size. Partial asymmetry of PstI-repeat family transcription was shown.
