Variable evolutionary rates in the molecular evolution of mammalian growth hormones.

Journal of molecular evolution - 1 Jun 1994

Wallis M

Abstract excerpt

In mammals pituitary growth hormone (GH) shows a slow basal rate of evolution (0.22 +/- 0.03 x 10(-9) substitutions/amino acid site/year) which appears to have increased by at least 25-50-fold on two occasions, during the evolution of primates (to at least 10.8 +/- 1.3 x 10(-9) substitutions/amino acid site/year) and artiodactyl ruminants (to at least 5.6 +/- 1.3 x 10(-9) substitutions/amino acid site/year). That...
