[HTML][HTML] Gene Structure and Expression of Human Thyroid Transcription Factor-1 in Respiratory Epithelial Cells (∗)

The human gene encoding thyroid transcription factor-1 (TTF-1), a homeodomain-containing
nuclear transcription protein of the Nkx2 gene family, was isolated and characterized.
Human TTF-1 was encoded by a single gene locus spanning approximately 3.3 kilobases
and consisted of two exons and a single intron. The TTF-1 cDNA and polypeptide of 371
amino acids have been highly conserved, sharing 98% identity with the rat TTF-1
polypeptide. Human TTF-1 mRNA and polypeptide were selectively expressed in human …
