Overview of the 5'untranslated region of CD36 . White boxes represent untranslated mRNA sequence, the black box represent the translated sequence. Exon 1a corresponds to the EST sequence with accession number [GenBank:DA741325]. Exon 1b denotes the alternative first exon with accession number [GenBank:NM_000072]. Exon 1c denotes the alternative first exon with accession number [GenBank:NM_001001547]. Exon 1e denotes the alternative first exon annotated on the sequence with accession number [GenBank:AF266759]. Exon 1f denotes the new alternative first exon identified in this work, corresponding to the EST sequence with accession number [GenBank:BG944316].
