title: Cloning and structural analysis of genomic DNA for human renal dipeptidase.
abstract: A genomic DNA for human renal dipeptidase was isolated from a human genomic library using probes for human renal dipeptidase cDNA. The human renal dipeptidase gene, containing ten exons and nine introns, had a total length of approx. 6 kbp. The DNA sequence of these exons was slightly different from that of the human renal dipeptidase cDNA reported by Adachi et al. [1]. From the results of a comparison of the deduced amino acid sequence of each exon with various mammalian renal dipeptidases, the fourth exon was found to be highly conserved (90%).
