| Abstract: | Complementary DNA clones specific for phospholamban have been isolated from a canine cardiac cDNA library. The amino acid sequence deduced from the cDNA sequence showed that phospholamban consisted of 52 amino acid residues and was synthesized without an amino-terminal signal sequence. The RNA blot analysis revealed that phospholamban mRNAs were represented by two main species of approximately 1.2kb and approximately 2.8kb. These mRNAs appeared to differ primarily in the length of the 3' untranslated region. |
