HERV-K(HML-2) rec and np9 transcripts in normal human tissues
Human endogenous retroviruses of the HERV-K(HML-2) group have been associated with various human diseases. HERV-K(HML-2) encoded Rec and Np9 proteins have been suggested as potentially involved in disease development. We analyzed presence of HERV-K(HML-2) rec and np9 transcripts in various normal human tissues. Rec and np9 transcripts derived from various HERV-K(HML-2) loci were identified in many human tissues.
