Table 1. Oligonucleotides used for RT-PCR and competitive RT-PCR experiments in human GA analysis.

Sequences used to design of the primers were obtained from GenBank (accession numbers AF348119 for LGA, M65150 for KGA and AF158555 for GAC). Numbering of nucleotides is based on the transcription start site. Numbering of nucleotides and positions are relative to LGA, KGA and GAC respectively.
