Cloning and sequencing of complementary DNA for fatty acid binding protein from rainbow trout heart
1Department of Biological Sciences, Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, B.C., Canada.
Abstract:
A cDNA encoding a rainbow trout homologue of mammalian heart fatty acid binding protein (H-FABP) was isolated. The deduced protein sequence is 75% identical to that of rat H-FABP. The structural conservation of H-FABPs and their evolutionary relationship are discussed.

Overview
RACE - Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends
Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends, or RACE, is one of the most effective methods to obtain a full-length cDNA from an mRNA sequence between a known internal region to the unknown sequence at the 5’ or 3’ end. The unknown region is cloned in the cDNA by a gene-specific primer that binds the known end, and a hybrid primer that attaches a predefined anchor sequence to the unknown end of the cDNA. The sequence in between is amplified by PCR with an anchor primer and a gene-specific primer.
