Abstract excerpt
From a chum salmon genomic DNA library, clones coding for somatolactin (SL), a presumed pituitary hormone belonging to the GH/PRL family, were isolated and analyzed. The salmon SL gene was 16 kilobases (kb) in length, this being the largest among mammalian GH (approximately 2 kb) and PRL (approxi...
