title: Nucleotide sequence of class-alpha glutathione S-transferases from chicken liver.
abstract: Two clones coding for class-alpha glutathione S-transferase were isolated from a chicken liver cDNA library. The full-length clone (933 bp) encodes a polypeptide comprising 221 amino acids with a molecular mass of 25,298 Da, including the initiator methionine. The partial clone (935 bp) encodes the C-terminal 193 amino acids of a different class-alpha glutathione S-transferase. The deduced primary amino acid sequence of the full-length clone has a 66% identical sequence with other class-alpha glutathione S-transferases.
