title: Structure of the gene encoding rabbit alpha s1-casein.
abstract: The complete nucleotide sequence of the entire rabbit alpha s1-casein-encoding gene Aslca and its flanking regions was determined. These data represent the first complete primary sequence of an Aslca gene. The gene consists of 19 exons spread over 16 kb. Highly conserved sequences were found between this gene and other casein-encoding genes mainly upstream from the gene from position -180 to -10. Several repeated interspersed elements of unknown function were also identified within introns.
