title: Molecular cloning and sequence of the ovine gastrin gene.
abstract: A clone encoding ovine preprogastrin was isolated from a sheep genomic library. The deduced 104 amino acid sequence of ovine preprogastrin was 92% and 68% identical to the sequences of bovine and human preprogastrin, respectively. While the similarity was greatest in the gastrin-17 sequence, and unexpected similarity was also observed in the N-terminus of mature progastrin.
