Abstract excerpt
A novel complementary DNA (cDNA) encoding the chicken GH receptor was isolated from a chicken liver cDNA library, using polymerase chain reaction with primers derived from highly conserved sequences of the mammalian GH receptor. The nucleotide sequence predicts a mature protein of 592 amino acids and a 16 amino acid signal peptide that are partially homologous to the sequence reported for the rabbit (53%), rat...
