Figure 3

Scheme of HCIQ gene structure determination. The lengths of PCR fragments are shown below the lines. Horizontal arrows indicate the primer directions. The exons coding for signal peptide are displayed in white boxes; the exon coding for the pro-part and the mature peptide is shown in striped and black boxes respectively. The lengths of HCIQ gene elements are shown above the lines and boxes. The image was carried out using the Paint.net 4.0 program.
