Abstract excerpt
Sequences of fetuin cDNA and its deduced amino acid residues from the African green monkey cell line Vero were found to differ by 7.3% and 12.9%, respectively, from the corresponding human sequences. Most amino acid substitutions were clustered within a small segment of the third domain (D3). Calculations of nonsynonymous and synonymous nucleotide substitution rates suggest that this small segment was mutated...
