Cloning and sequence analysis of bovine beta-casein cDNA.
A bovine beta-casein cDNA clone was isolated from a cDNA library prepared from mammary gland mRNA. Sequence analysis revealed 25 nucleotides (nt) of the 5' noncoding region, 672 nt of the complete sequence coding and a 3' region of approximately 500 nt. When the nucleotide sequence of bovine beta-casein cDNA is compared to rat beta-casein cDNA (5), a high degree of homology is observed in the first 100 nt corresponding to the signal peptide of the pre-beta-caseins.
