Abstract
A cDNA clone coding for the entire bovine alpha 1-antitrypsin molecule has been isolated from a lambda gt11 bovine liver cDNA library using a human alpha 1-antitrypsin cDNA as a probe. The bovine cDNA was sequenced by the dideoxynucleotide chain termination method. Comparison of the translated amino acid sequence of the bovine alpha 1-antitrypsin with those of the human, baboon, sheep, rat and mouse demonstrates the preservation of most of the critical structural determinants. The bovine and the sheep molecules have a sequence homology of 94% and both the molecules contain four cysteine residues; there is only one cysteine in the others.Entities:
