title: The rat kidney acylase 1. Evidence for a new cDNA form and comparisons with the porcine intestinal enzyme.
abstract: A new cDNA form encoding the rat kidney acylase I was characterized and found to show as much as 93.5% identity in its translated nucleotide sequence and, to a lesser extent, in its 3'-untranslated region with the nucleotide sequence we previously reported in 2000. Comparisons between the amino acid sequences of the two corresponding proteins showed the presence of N-terminal fragments with 88.5% identity and different cysteine profiles. The cDNA nucleotide sequence of the pig intestinal enzyme isolated from a marathon library turned out to be 100% identical to that of the kidney enzyme, but differed from those of the two rat kidney acylase I forms.
