Abstract:
We have isolated and sequenced cDNA clones encoding for preprogastrin from a canine antral cDNA library. Comparison of this sequence with those of porcine, human, and rat gastrin reveals extensive (83%) homology in the gastrin coding region as well as short regions of conserved nucleotides in the noncoding regions. The canine sequence encodes a preprogastrin of 104 amino acids which consists of a signal peptide, a 37-amino acid prosegment, and a 34-amino acid gastrin sequence, followed by a glycine (the amide donor), and flanked by pairs of arginine residues.

RNA is the Missing Link Between DNA and Proteins
In the early 1900s, scientists discovered that DNA stores all the information needed for cellular functions and that proteins perform most of these functions. However, the mechanisms of converting genetic information into functional proteins remained unknown for many years. Initially, it was believed that a single gene is...
