Thank you for visiting naturecom You are using a browser version with limited support for CSS To obtain the best experience we recommend you use a more up to date browser or turn off compatibility mode in Internet Explorer In the meantime to ensure continued support we are displaying the site without styles and JavaScriptThrough largescale sequencing of clones randomly selected from libraries of human cDNAs we have isolated a novel human gene encoding a product with 596 identity in amino acid sequence to human MTA1 a protein associated with tumor invasion and metastasis This cDNA named MTA1L1 MTA1 like 1 consists of 2736 nucleotides with an open reading frame encoding 668 amino acids A single 30kb transcript of MTA1L1 was expressed ubiquitously on Northern blots Structural analysis of the MTA1L1 gene revealed 18 exons spanning 81kb of genomic DNA We assigned the MTA1L1 locus to chromosomal band 11q12–131 by fluorescence in situ hybridization
