Abstract excerpt
The structure of the mouse alpha-lactalbumin-encoding mRNA was deduced from sequence analysis of eight cDNA clones. The almost full-length mRNA of 732 nucleotides [poly(A) tail excluded] and the deduced pre-protein share 85% and 86% homology with their rat counterpart, respectively. Interspecies comparison of the pre-protein showed the occurrence of an extra amino acid (aa) in the signal peptide and of two...
