[cDNA cloning and sequence analysis of human lactoferrin].
Human lactoferrin (hLF) cDNA was amplified by RT-PCR from normal human mammary tissue obtained from Daxing County of Beijing City of China, and then subcloned into pGEM-T vector. hLF cDNA sequence was determined, which consists of 2136 bp. Comparison with five other hLF cDNA sequences registered in GenBank shows 99% homology in DNA sequence. However, there are two base substitutions (nucleotide 1740 G-->C, nucleotide 1756 T-->C), one of which subsequently leads to an amino acid change (residue 580 Glu-->Asp).
