Genomic and transcript characteristics of the novel genes. Gene structure and exon organization were determined by genome database searches. In the gene structure, vertical bars and connecting horizontal lines represent the position of exons and introns, respectively. The orientation of each gene is indicated by a broken arrow. In the exon organization, diagonal lines represent additional unknown sequences. Coding regions were determined by selecting the longest open reading frames deduced from the cDNA sequences, and the predicted coding regions are shaded. The position of the poly(A) signal is marked by filled arrowheads. The calculated transcript sizes are summarized from the recent UniGene databases and the results from the Northern blots shown in Figure. 3. The numbers of amino acids (No. aa) corresponding to the predicted coding regions are listed. Chromosomal locations were determined by searches of the assembled human (UCSC Build 36.1) and mouse (UCSC Build 36) genomes.
