Abstract:
A chemically synthesized polynucleotide sequence coding for bovine liver low molecular weight acid phosphatase (which possesses phosphotyrosine-protein phosphatase activity) has been cloned in a E. coli expression vector. The recombinant protein retains correct affinity for substrate and inhibitors but shows a reduced specific activity.
