Abstract:
The nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences of the copper/zinc superoxide dismutase gene (sod-1) from the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans has been determined. The protein coding region is interrupted by three intron sequences covering 608 bp in total and encodes a protein of 158 amino acids (M(r) = 16,307).
