title: Characterization, chromosomal localization, and the complete 30-kb DNA sequence of the human Jagged2 (JAG2) gene.
abstract: The genomic sequence of the human Jagged2 (JAG2) gene, which encodes a ligand for the Notch receptors, was determined. The 30-kb DNA sequence spanning the JAG2 gene contains 26 exons and a putative promoter region. Several potential binding sites for transcription factors, including NF-kappab, E47, E12, E2F, Ets-1, MyoD, and OCT-1, were found in the human JAG2 promoter region. The JAG2 gene was also mapped to the chromosomal region 14q32 using fluorescence in situ hybridization.
