The human gene for gamma-glutamyl carboxylase is 13 kb in length and c ontains 15 exons, Transcription starts at a cytosine 217 base pair ups tream of the first codon, There are two major transcripts in all tissu es examined, They are distinguished by the presence of an Alu sequence in the 3' nontranslated end of the longer species, Relative mRNA leve ls for 12 bovine tissues are presented.
