Abstract excerpt
Proline-rich proteins (PRPs) constitute a family of about 20 members in human saliva that are encoded by six genes. Assignment of genomic DNA coding regions is complicated because of the occurrence of many alleles and the great similarity of amino acid sequences of PRPs. To overcome these problems, the nucleotide sequences of the genes encoding basic and glycosylated PRPs from one person were determined and then...
