Structure and comparison of the oxytocin and vasopressin genes from rat.
Open accessAbstract
The gene encoding the precursor protein to the hormone oxytocin and its associated neurophysin has been isolated from a rat genomic library, and its sequence has been determined. The small gene (approximately equal to 850 base pairs) predicts a mRNA of approximately equal to 500 bases [without the poly(A) tail]. The exon-intron organization is similar to that of the vasopressin gene, with two splice sites in the protein-coding region. The first exon (A) comprises the 5' noncoding promoter region, a putative signal peptide, the nonapeptide hormone oxytocin, and the NH2-terminal, variable region of neurophysin. The second exon (B) encodes the central, conserved region of neurophysin, and the third exon (C) encodes the remaining COOH terminus of neurophysin, with an additional arginine residue at its end, presumably cleaved off during post-translational processing. A stretch of 143 nucleotides within exon B, except for a single base change, is entirely homologous to the equivalent part of the rat vasopressin gene, offering support for a gene conversion event having recently affected the two genes.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
