The bovine and ovine genomes contain multiple sequences homologous to the alpha-lactalbumin-encoding gene.
Bovine and ovine (pseudo)genes homologous to the alpha-lactalbumin-encoding gene are described. In both cases, sequence analysis reveals homology extending downstream from exon 2. Southern analysis indicates the presence of a family of alpha-lactalbumin-related sequences in the bovine genome.
