Figure 2 The CRP Gene Is Located on Chromosome 1
The gene per se is comprised of 2 exons (red boxes) separated by a single intron encoding a dinucleotide (gt) repeat. Exon 1 encodes an 18 amino acid leader peptide (green box) and the first 2 amino acids of the mature protein. The cross-hatched box demarcates the position of a reported alternative transcript. CRP = C-reactive protein; UTR = untranslated regions (yellow boxes).
