title: Cloning of a novel rat gene, DB83, that encodes a putative membrane protein.
abstract: Using a partial cDNA sequence and a 5'-RACE technique, we isolated a novel cDNA from rat liver referred to as DB83. DB83 had four hydrophobic trans-membrane domains and one N-myristoylation site as well as multiple possible phosphorylation sites. The db83 gene was highly expressed in the liver and significantly in brain, lungs and kidneys. We suggest that DB83 is a tissue-specific putative membrane protein. p6
