Figure 2

Comparison of mouse and human ghrelin exon 1 sequences showing exon 1 extended transcription start sites. The mouse and human alignments were generated by the ClustalW program and drawn by BOXSHADE http://www.ch.embnet.org/software/BOX_form.html). Black shading indicates conserved nucleotides. Transcription start sites determined by 5' RACE (Δ), as well as a full-length cDNA clone [GenBank:BM982194] (*), are indicated, and the exact transcription start site nucleotides are shaded in grey in each species. Exon-intron boundaries are highlighted in red. The start codon of preproghrelin is highlighted in yellow.
