Molecular cloning and nucleotide sequence of a bovine alpha-lactalbumin cDNA.
A cDNA clone for the bovine milk protein, alpha-lactalbumin (alpha LA), has been identified using a rat cDNA probe. The bovine cDNA clone is 703 nucleotides (nt) long, contains 8 nt of 5'-untranslated sequence and 269 nt of 3'-untranslated sequence. When compared with previously reported sequences, the bovine alpha LA mRNA sequence has 74% similarity with rat alpha LA mRNA, 79% similarity with human mRNA and 74% similarity with guinea pig mRNA.
