title: Mouse ornithine decarboxylase. Complete amino acid sequence deduced from cDNA.
abstract: cDNA containing the full coding region of mouse ornithine decarboxylase was isolated. The complete nucleotide sequence of the cDNA was determined by the dideoxy method, and the amino acid sequence of ornithine decarboxylase was thereby deduced. The protein contains 461 amino acids and has a molecular weight of 51,172. The isoelectric point is predicted from the deduced amino acid sequence to be 5.1. On the basis of its amino acid sequence, the protein is predicted to be comprised predominantly of alternating domains of alpha-helix and beta-sheet.
