Figure 1.

Genomic organization of the human PLAC1 gene on chromosome Xq26. The five 5′ UTR exons and the 5′ UTR and 3′ UTR components of Exon 6 are cross-hatched. The protein coding region in Exon 6 is the solid box. The P1 and P2 promoters are indicated relative to Exons 1 and 4 along with the composition of the P1 and P2 transcripts. Locations of the RT-PCR/qPCR primers in Table 2 are indicated along with their amplicon sizes.
