Popis: We report here on characterization of a novel human gene on chromosome 2q32, containing several ankyrin repeats and ARM domains. The gene FLJ25415, including at least 31 exons and spanning about 90kb of a gene-rich genomic region, is present in the human genome as a single copy. It seems highly conserved along the mammalian phylogeny. By analysing FLJ25415 gene expression in different human tissues, we demonstrated a ubiquitously expression pattern with extensive alternative splicing. In silico prediction of promoter regions revealed the presence of a TATA box and some hypothetical transcription factor binding sites, such as TMF, C/EBPalpha, LE-1, and NF-ATp.
