title: Cloning and characterization of bovine insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3 (bIGFBP-3).
abstract: We report for the first time the isolation of a cDNA encoding the complete amino acid sequence for bovine growth hormone-dependent insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3 (bIGFBP-3). The deduced amino acid sequence from the cDNA revealed a mature polypeptide consisting of 264 amino acids and a 27 amino acid putative signal peptide. The amino acid sequence is over 80% homologous with human IGFBP-3 with complete conservation of the 18 cysteine residues and the 3 Asn-linked glycosylation sites. Between the two species there are 44 amino acid substitutions. Northern analysis of the bIGFBP-3 mRNA in bovine tissue revealed a single mRNA species of 1.65 kilobases.
