Abstract excerpt
We have isolated a functional gene (ODC) encoding rat ornithine decarboxylase (ODC; EC 4.1.1.17) from a partial rat liver genomic DNA bank. The entire gene is located on a 7776-bp BamHI fragment and was shown to comprise twelve exons, of which ten encode the ODC protein (exons III-XII). Introduction of the BamHI fragment into an ODC-deficient hamster cell line restores ODC activity, indicating that the gene is...
