Abstract excerpt
The sequence of canine COL1A1 cDNA was determined from four overlapping COL1A1 RT-PCR products generated from canine fibroblast RNA. In the translated region, nucleotide identity between canine and human COL1A1 cDNA was 93.2%, although the canine sequence lacked nucleotides 204 to 215 in the region coding for the N-propeptide. Amino acid identity was 97.7%. Total RNA and type I collagen were collected from...
