Structure and organization of the gene encoding human selenoprotein.
We have isolated a genomic clone encoding human selenoprotein P including the putative promoter region. The gene spans 12 kb and consists of five exons with a start codon in the second exon. A typical TATA sequence, the recognition motifs for a GATA-binding factor and the liver-specific factors, HNF-1 and HNF-3, were detected upstream from the transcription start point.
