Chemosensation is the primary sensory modality in almost all metazoans. The vertebrate olfactory receptor genes exist as tandem clusters in the genome, so that identifying their evolutionary origin would be useful for understanding the expansion of the sensory world in relation to a large-scale geno

Background: Previously, we reported the isolation of C4-2 as a potential tumor suppressor gene in human brain tumors. To understand the function of this gene, we investigated its molecular characterization and expression during development. Methods: Human fetal brain library screening and 5ЈRACE-PCR
Tob is a member of the PC3/ BTG1/Tob family of vertebrate tumor suppressor genes; its expression is known to inhibit proliferation of cells in vitro, but its possible roles during normal development have not been investigated previously. The present study concerns the structure and developmental exp
