Abstract excerpt
The cDNA for a murine galactocerebrosidase was isolated from a murine testis cDNA library on the basis of its homology with the cDNA for human galactocerebrosidase and a PCR method was used to clone the 5' end. It has a 2,278-nucleotide sequence including a 2,004-nucleotide open reading frame, which encodes 668 amino acid residues. The identity between the human and murine amino acid sequences was very high,...
