title: Cloning of mouse prolidase cDNA: predominant expression of prolidase mRNA in kidney.
abstract: We cloned mouse prolidase cDNA from a mouse liver cDNA library. Homology to human prolidase is 83.2% at the nucleotide level and 87.2% at the amino acid level. Northern blot analysis showed that while prolidase mRNA was transcribed in brain, heart, liver, and muscle, it was predominantly transcribed in kidney.
