SGT1.2, a novel splice variant of Homo sapiens SGT1 was isolated from a human fetal brain cDNA library. This cDNA is 1404 bp and contains an open reading frame from 68 to 1165 encoding a putative protein of 365 amino acids (SGT1.2) that share 90% identities to Homo sapiens SGT1, suppressor of G2 allele of SKP1 at protein level. RPS-BLAST searching revealed that SGT1.2 have a TPR domain, a p23 domain, a SGS domain and a CS domain. According to the search of the human genome database, SGT1.2 was mapped to human chromosome 13q14.13. Reversed transcription-polymerase chain reaction analysis indicated that it widely expressed in human adult tissues.
