Polymorphism in the coding sequence of the horse transferrin gene.

Genome - 1 Feb 1994

Carpenter M A, Broad T E

Abstract excerpt

Transferrin, the iron transport protein of the blood, is highly polymorphic in many species, including the horse. A number of sequence polymorphisms that distinguish several of the variants of horse transferrin are reported here. Previous studies indicated that exons 12 and 15 were likely to be p...
