The cDNA that encodes goat growth hormone (gGH) was isolated from a goat pituitary cDNA library. The cDNA, about 880 base pairs long, had a coding sequence, 5'- and 3'-untranslated regions and a poly(A) chain. The cDNA could encode a polypeptide of 217 amino acids. The amino acid sequence homology between gGH and the sequences of bovine GH, rat GH and human GH was 99, 83 and 66%, respectively. By Northern blot hybridization, we found that the possible gGH gene is transcribed in the goat pituitary.
编码山羊生长激素(gGH)的cDNA是从山羊垂体cDNA文库中分离出来的。该cDNA长约880个碱基对,具有编码序列、5'和3'非翻译区以及一个聚腺苷酸(polyA)链。该cDNA可编码一个由217个氨基酸组成的多肽。gGH与牛生长激素(bGH)、大鼠生长激素(rGH)和人生长激素(hGH)序列之间的氨基酸序列同源性分别为99%、83%和66%。通过Northern印迹杂交,我们发现可能的gGH基因在山羊垂体中被转录。
