DNA complementary to the rat hypothalamic mRNA coding for the corticotropin-releasing factor precursor (prepro-CRF) has been cloned by screening a cDNA library with a human genomic DNA probe. Nucleotide sequence analysis of the cloned cDNA has revealed that rat prepro-CRF consists of 187 amino acid residues including a putative signal peptide. The CRF and putative signal peptide regions are more highly conserved among rat, human and ovine prepro-CRF than is the cryptic portion.
通过用人基因组DNA探针筛选cDNA文库,已克隆出与编码促肾上腺皮质激素释放因子前体(前促肾上腺皮质激素释放因子)的大鼠下丘脑mRNA互补的DNA。对克隆的cDNA进行核苷酸序列分析表明,大鼠前促肾上腺皮质激素释放因子由187个氨基酸残基组成,包括一个假定的信号肽。促肾上腺皮质激素释放因子和假定的信号肽区域在大鼠、人类和绵羊前促肾上腺皮质激素释放因子中比隐蔽部分更为保守。
