Structure of the gene encoding rabbit beta-casein.
The entire rabbit beta-casein-encoding gene and 400 bp upstream were sequenced. Eight introns, located essentially at a position similar to the corresponding gene in other species, were found. Strong homology with several casein-encoding genes from rabbit and from other species was observed in the upstream region of the gene. Repeated sequences of unknown function were also located within introns.
