A full-length cDNA encoding murine tetranectin (TN) was isolated and cloned from a murine lung lambda ZAPII cDNA library. The complete nucleotide sequence was determined revealing an open reading frame encoding 202 amino acids (aa) including a signal peptide of 21 aa. An overall aa identity of 79% exists between the deduced aa sequences of human and murine TN, revealing a high evolutionary conservation of the protein. The highest expression of mouse TN was found in lung and skeletal muscle.
