Abstract excerpt
We cloned and sequenced four different transferrin (Tf) alleles (C, D, F and G) of European common carp (Cyprinus carpio carpio L.) and studied allelic diversity with respect to differences in sequence, constitutive transcription and three-dimensional structure. Most of the disulfide bonds were conserved between human and carp Tf, and modeling confirmed the overall conservation of the three-dimensional structure...
