Discovery of the genes encoding a nerve cell adhesion molecule like protein and a peroxisome proliferator activated receptor delta like protein
Objective Isolate the cDNA of human angiostatin. Methods A cDNA fragment was isolated from embryonic liver with RT PCR, cloned and partly sequenced. The sequence was analyzed in GenBank and Swissprot. Results Two complete ORFs were found, one of which coded a peptide highly homologous to human nerve cell adhesion molecule and the other homologous to peroxisome proliferator activated receptor delta of rat. The ORFs were submitted to GenBank (submission number BankIt323569 AF241539, BankIt324273 AF242527 respectively). Conclusion The genes encoding a nerve cell adhesion molecule like protein and a peroxisome proliferator activated receptor delta like protein were found.
