Abstract
cDNA clone for human liver S-adenosylmethionine synthetase (liver-specific isoenzyme) was isolated from a cDNA library of human liver poly(A)+ RNA. The cDNA sequence encoded a polypeptide consisting of 395 amino acid residues with a calculated molecular mass of 43675 Da. Alignment of the predicted amino acid sequence of this protein with that of rat liver S-adenosylmethionine synthetase showed a high degree of similarity. The coding region of the human liver S-adenosylmethionine synthetase cDNA sequence was 89% identical at the nucleotide level and 95% identical at the amino acid level to the sequence for rat liver S-adenosylmethionine synthetase.Entities:
