CLONING

By differential display, Tsukada et al. (2003) cloned rabbit Itr, which was upregulated early after aorta injury by balloon catheterization. They obtained a full-length human ITR cDNA by screening a heart cDNA library. The deduced 440-amino acid protein, which is produced predominantly in vascular smooth muscle cells, contains an N-terminal signal sequence, 7 transmembrane regions, and a signature motif found in members of the rhodopsin (180380)-like G protein-coupled receptor superfamily. The 3-prime untranslated region contains 3 putative polyadenylation sites. Northern blot analysis detected major transcripts of 1.9 and 3.8 kb that were differentially expressed in most tissues examined.

GENE STRUCTURE

Iida et al. (2003) determined the genomic structure of the human ITR gene, which contains 9 exons spanning approximately 27 kb of genomic DNA. The first methionine codon of the open reading frame is located in exon 1; the termination codon and poly-A signal are in the last exon.

MAPPING

By FISH, Tsukada et al. (2003) mapped the ITR gene to chromosome 13q31.

MOLECULAR GENETICS

Iida et al. (2003) constructed a fine-scale map of 22 SNPs that were detected at the ITR locus in a 96-chromosome sample of the Japanese population. Only 2 of the 22 SNPs were in the coding region of the ITR gene. - Associations Pending Confirmation For discussion of a possible association between variation in the GPR180 gene and microcoria with goniodysgenesis, see 156600.

ANIMAL MODEL

Tsukada et al. (2003) developed Itr-null mice. Mutant mice were indistinguishable from wildtype mice in appearance, growth rate, reproduction, and histology of major organs. However, following cuff placement around the femoral artery, Itr-null mice showed little of the neointima that formed in wildtype mice within the experimental period. The neointimal area was about 200% greater in wildtype mice than in Itr-null mice 14 days after cuff placement, and DNA synthesis in vascular smooth muscle cells was significantly suppressed in Itr-null mice. Because Itr-deficient mice were found to be resistant to experimental thickening of the intima, Tsukada et al. (2003) concluded that the product of this gene may play an important role in the regulation of vascular remodeling. ... More on the omim web site
