It has been previously shown that some toxic effects of high concentrations of glucose are mediated by the hexosamine biosynthesis pathway and its rate-limiting enzyme glutamine:fructose-6-phosphate amidotransferase (GFA). We have used the cloned human GFA cDNA to study the chromosomal localization of the gene and tissue distribution of mRNA. The human GFA gene is on chromosome 2, band p13 as determined by fluorescence in situ hybridization. An 8-kb species of GFA mRNA was detected in all rat tissues tested with relatively high expression in testis and smooth muscle; a unique 3-kb mRNA species was found only in testis.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

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.
