| pubmed-article:11901087 | pubmed:abstractText | We found nucleotide variability in the 5'-upstream region and exonic sequences of a gene-encoding canalicular multispecific organic anion transporter/multidrug resistance-associated protein 2 (cMOAT/MRP2) by polymerase chain reaction-based sequencing using genomic DNA from 72 established cell lines derived from 72 Japanese individuals. Four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were found in the 5'-untranslational region and 21 in the exonic regions. Of them, 14 were nonsynonymous SNPs. One deletion of seven consecutive adenines resulting in a frameshift variant was also found. Four SNPs, c-24t, g1249a (V417I), c2366t (S789F), and c3972t (I1324I), were the same as those recently reported. A strong association was found between c-24t (5'-untranslated region) and c3972t (exon 28), with the promoter activity of the former worth being compared. | lld:pubmed |
