Nucleotide sequence of a cDNA clone for human aldolase: a messenger RNA in the liver

Nearly complete cDNA clones for human aldolase A mRNA were isolated from human liver cDNA library and the nucleotide sequence determined. Using the cDNA clone as a probe the length of human aldolase A mRNAs, isolated from the skeletal muscle, liver and placenta tissues, was measured by RNA blotting and estimated to be 1,600 nucleotides for skeletal muscle mRNA and 1,700 nucleotides for both the liver and placenta mRNAs, indicating that different species of mRNA coding for human aldolase A were expressed in the different tissues.
