Guinea‐pig casein A cDNA

Abstract
The nucleotide sequence (1036 bases) of guinea-pig casein A mRNA was determined. Two cDNA [complementary DNA] recombinant plasmids contained a total of 993 base pairs, including part of the 5'' noncoding region, and the complete coding and 3'' noncoding region. The remaining 5'' noncoding sequence was obtained by primer extension. The deduced 223-amino-acid-coding sequence of guinea-pig pre-casein A exhibited 30% homology with bovine .alpha.s2 casein, the most striking similarities being in the locations of potential phosphorylation sites.
