The upstream structure and regulation of the mouse reduced folate carrier (mRFC) gene
was characterized. By 5′-rapid amplification of cDNA ends assay and DNA sequencing
from mouse tissues and 7–15-day stage embryos, mRFC transcripts with four unique 5′
noncoding exons, designated mRFC-a,-b,-c, and-d, were identified mapping over 6300 bp.
The 5′ noncoding exons were characterized by multiple transcription starts and, for form b,
two alternate splice forms. mRFC transcript forms were measured by real-time reverse …
