We report here the nucleotide (nt) sequence of clones from a lobster olfactory organ cDNA library encoding a protein homologous to glutamine synthetase (GS) from eukaryotes. The cDNA for the lobster putative GS is 2045 bp in length, and includes a 5'-untranslated region 55 nt in length, a 1083-nt open reading frame, and a 907-nt 3'-untranslated region. The encoded protein shows 65, 64, and 63% identity with the reported GS sequences of chicken, human and fruit fly, respectively.
