title: Cloning and molecular analysis of the human citrate synthase gene.
abstract: The nucleotide sequence encoding the citrate synthase (CS) gene was determined from the sequencing of the CS cDNA isolated from a human heart cDNA library. The primary sequence of CS deduced from its nucleotide sequence reveals a highly conserved, albeit slightly larger, protein of 466 amino acids, with 95% homology to its pig homologue. The data also indicate that the human genomic CS gene contains no introns, and confirms the location of the human CS gene on chromosome 12.
