Abstract excerpt
beta-Lactoglobulin (BLG) is the major whey protein in the milk of ruminants and is produced in the mammary gland during pregnancy and lactation. Here, we compare the nucleotide sequences of two BLG-encoding clones isolated from a sheep genomic library. The two clones are very similar differing by only 1 bp in their coding regions, giving rise to a Tyr/His difference in the gene product, and suggesting that the...
