| abstractText | We have cloned a cDNA coding for the smallest rat neurofilament protein. The cDNA is 861 nucleotides long coding for 287 amino acids from the internal alpha-helical region and the carboxy-terminal tail domain of the neurofilament protein. Comparison of the porcine, mouse and rat neurofilament protein sequences shows that the protein is highly conserved (greater than 93% identity). Blot analysis indicates that the cDNA is derived from a single neurofilament gene that codes for two different poly(A)+ mRNA species. |
