Abstract
We have cloned a novel human gene (C14orf5) from a fetal brain cDNA library that is located on chromosome 14 and consists of 4 exons. It encodes a protein of 170 amino acids that shares homology with human p25 alpha and bovine p25. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction analysis indicated that it is highly expressed in liver and pancreas. Its transcripts could not be detected in adult brain but could be found in fetal brain.
