Gene structure and expression evidences of the RGP gene copies. The gene structure of the regions of the RGP genes amplified by RT-PCR is shown. For comparison, the corresponding regions of the RanBP2 (exons 16-19) and GCC (exons n-q) genes are reported. By comparing the expression data to the genomic sequences, it is possible to predict the existence of different splice variants for each copy. Indeed, some of the cDNAs detect exon-skipping.
