title: The bovine PP3 gene is homologous to the murine GlyCAM 1 gene.
abstract: Proteose peptone component 3 (PP3) is a protein synthesized in the bovine mammary gland. A genomic 4.5-kb clone has been sequenced comprising a 2.9-kb PP3 transcriptional unit plus 1 kb of 5' and 0.6 kb of 3' flanking sequence. Bovine retroposons of the short interspersed nuclear element sequence class (SINES) and one microsatellite were localized in the PP3 gene. PP3 is homologous with the murine glycosylation-dependent cell-adhesion molecule 1 (GlyCAM 1) and this homology also extends to the exon/intron organization of the genes.
