Abstract

The exon-intron structure of the human WASF4 gene has been determined. The in silico analysis of the gene promoter region was performed and the presence of transcription factor binding sites was shown. The highest similarity between the WASF4 protein and the human WASF2 protein was revealed. The WASF4 gene homolog was found in chimpanzee and macaque genomes; WASF4 like nucleotide sequences were not found in other vertebrate genomes. The WASF4 gene expression in human tissues was not detected.
