The gene is split into seven exons by six introns. The last exon, as in all MLC isoform genes sequenced to date, is completely 3'untranslated sequence. Comparison of the MLC-1emb/A isoform gene with the other MLC-1 genes showed that the exon-intron arrangement of the human MLC-1emb/A isoform gene is analogous to that of the other MLC-1 type isoform genes. We have also mapped the human MLC-1emb/a isoform gene to the long arm of chromosome 17. The corresponding mouse gene has been mapped to chromosome 11. This gene, together with a number of others such as the collagen alpha 1, galactokinase, and thymidine kinase genes, is part of the largest syntenic group between mouse and man.enamino acid sequencebase sequencechromosome mappingchromosomesexongenegenetichuman chromosome 17MLC-1 genemosin alkali light chain genemyosin615610620599Human embyronic/atrial myosin alkali light chain gene.
