Chartered in 1845 by the last Congress of the Republic of Texas, it is the oldest continuously-operating university in Texas and one of the first educational institutions west of the Mississippi River in the United States.
The LCT gene provides instructions for making an enzyme called lactase. This enzyme helps to digest lactose, a sugar found in milk and other dairy products. Lactase is produced by cells that line the walls of the small intestine.olecular Location on chromosome 2: base pairs 135,787,844 to 135,837,179. The LCT gene is located on the long (q) arm of chromosome 2 at position 21. More precisely, the LCT gene is located from base pair 135,787,844 to base pair 135,837,179 on chromosome 2.
Results and discussion. In this study, the np 9 and gag mRNA expression was established for 25 patients with CLL (Fig. 1). We found that the transcriptional activity of HERV-K np 9 gene in CLL patients was higher than in PBMCs from healthy donors.The results revealed that 18 out of 25 CLL patients (70% of CLL patients) express np 9 transcripts five-fold higher than in normal PBMCs (Fig. 1 A).heir reactivation has frequently been observed in patients with cancer. Considering their role in the carcinogenesis process, we aimed to study the possible relationship between HERVs gene expression and Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL).
