High impact information on Ag5r

  • The protein encoded by Agr2 has 48% identity and 61% similarity to that encoded by Agr [1].
  • Agr RNA is transcribed from a single gene that is located within region 12F of the X chromosome [2].
  • The Agr expression pattern within the proventriculus suggests that it encodes a component of the peritrophic matrix, a tubular envelope produced by the proventriculus and which lines the midgut [3].
  • Deletion of the Agr gene had no effect on proventricular morphogenesis in embryos [3].
  • The entire Agr gene and some flanking region were sequenced, and the transcription start site was determined [3].
