Abstract:
We have isolated and characterized a cDNA which contains the entire coding sequence of Xenopus laevis raf protein. raf mRNA is identified as a member of the class of maternal RNAs. It is already relatively abundant at the beginning of oogenesis and is stable at least until the midblastula transition. The RNA is also detected later during embryogenesis in particular in gastrula, neurula, tailbud and feeding tadpole. We have also found the RNA in several adult tissues (skin, testis, stomach, intestine) at different levels.
