5'RACE identification of a novel 5'UTR in intron 11 of the LAR gene. (A) Structure of the rat LAR gene. (B) Magnification of the region of the novel 5'UTR. Open box – 5'UTR, LASEc – LAR alternatively spliced element c. Exons and alternatively spliced elements are represented as boxes in all figures, labelled as follows: White dots on black background – LASEc, black dots on white background – exon 12, dark grey – exon 13, light grey – exon 14, wavy lines – exon 15 & diagonal dashing – exon 16.
