The gene encoding human preproTRH was isolated from a human lung fibroblast genomic DNA library with a rat prepro TRH cDNA fragment. The transcriptional unit is 3.3 kilobases in size and contains three exons interrupted by two introns of approximately 1050 and 650 base pairs, respectively. Exon 1 encodes the 5'-untranslated region of the mRNA, exon 2 the putative signal sequence and the initial portion of propeptide, and exon 3 encodes the remainder of the propeptide, which contains six copies of the TRH sequence in contrast to five copies in the rat preproTRH gene. The predicted human preproTRH peptide structure has 242 amino acids compared to 255 amino acids in the rat. Homology with rat preproTRH is 73.3% and 59.5% at the nucleic acid and amino acid levels, respectively. Intron-exon splicing sites and 5' and 3' mRNA borders were confirmed rigorously by sequencing a human preproTRH cDNA using the polymerase chain reaction and human hypothalamic cDNA.

D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).

D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.
