We succeeded in cloning the gene encoding the murine epidermal-type fatty acid binding protein (E-FABP). To avoid the screening of pseudogenes, the presence of which was shown by PCR, we designed an intron-specific probe and screened a bacterial artificial chromosome library from mouse embryonic stem cells. One of the clones obtained was analysed by restriction with various enzymes and an 11-kb EcoRI fragment with the complete gene was subcloned. The gene revealed the canonical exon/intron FABP structure consisting of four exons (112, 173, 102 and 544bp, respectively) and three introns (2217, 327 and 546bp, respectively). The exon sequences were identical with the cDNA encoding mouse E-FABP (Krieg, P., Feil, S., Fürstenberger, G., Bowden, T.G., 1993. Tumor-specific overexpression of a novel keratinocyte lipid-binding protein. Identification and characterisation of a cloned sequence activated during multistage carcinogenesis in mouse skin. J. Biol. Chem. 268, 17362-17369). Of the 5' region, 2470bp were sequenced and searched for transcription factor binding sites. Putative responsive elements within the promoter region were identified that may be responsible for the wide expression observed for E-FABP in mouse tissues. The 11-kb EcoRI fragment was used to localise Fabpe on chromosome 3 in the region 3A1-3 by fluorescence in-situ hybridisation.

D008969 Molecular Sequence Data Descriptions of specific amino acid, carbohydrate, or nucleotide sequences which have appeared in the published literature and/or are deposited in and maintained by databanks such as GENBANK, European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL), National Biomedical Research Foundation (NBRF), or other sequence repositories.

D009363 Neoplasm Proteins Proteins whose abnormal expression (gain or loss) are associated with the development, growth, or progression of NEOPLASMS. Some neoplasm proteins are tumor antigens (ANTIGENS, NEOPLASM), i.e. they induce an immune reaction to their tumor. Many neoplasm proteins have been characterized and are used as tumor markers (BIOMARKERS, TUMOR) when they are detectable in cells and body fluids as monitors for the presence or growth of tumors. Abnormal expression of ONCOGENE PROTEINS is involved in neoplastic transformation, whereas the loss of expression of TUMOR SUPPRESSOR PROTEINS is involved with the loss of growth control and progression of the neoplasm.

D002875 Chromosomes In a prokaryotic cell or in the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell, a structure consisting of or containing DNA which carries the genetic information essential to the cell. (From Singleton & Sainsbury, Dictionary of Microbiology and Molecular Biology, 2d ed) Chromosome
D003001 Cloning, Molecular The insertion of recombinant DNA molecules from prokaryotic and/or eukaryotic sources into a replicating vehicle, such as a plasmid or virus vector, and the introduction of the resultant hybrid molecules into recipient cells without altering the viability of those cells. Molecular Cloning
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).

D004817 Epidermis The external, nonvascular layer of the skin. It is made up, from within outward, of five layers of EPITHELIUM: (1) basal layer (stratum basale epidermidis); (2) spinous layer (stratum spinosum epidermidis); (3) granular layer (stratum granulosum epidermidis); (4) clear layer (stratum lucidum epidermidis); and (5) horny layer (stratum corneum epidermidis).
