www.baylor.edu. Baylor University (BU) is a private Baptist university in Waco, Texas. 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.
Genetically, HBB locates at 11p15.5 (Bepler et al, 1999) and this locus contains embryonic and adult beta-like globin genes that are ordered as they are expressed during development. High-level expression of the beta-globin gene cluster is regulated by the locus control region (LCR) (Sawado et al, 2003).ecently, we investigated the gene expression profile of anaplastic thyroid cancer cell lines (ACLs) with cDNA microarray analysis (Onda et al, 2004a) and found the novel gene alterations that related to ATC / ACL carcinogenesis.
