In. Trofimova et Si. Belikov, CLONING AND SEQUENCING OF CDNA-ENCODING THE BETA-SUBUNIT OF BAIKAL OMUL GONADOTROPINS, Molecular biology, 28(5), 1994, pp. 675-678
Two types of cDNAs encoding gonadotropin beta subunits (GTH beta) were
isolated from a cDNA library prepared from the pituitary gland of Bai
kal omul (Coregonus autumnalis migratorius Georgi). GTHI beta and GTHI
I beta cDNAs encode polypeptides of 137 and 142 amino acids, including
a signal of 24 amino acids. The amino acid sequences of beta subunits
of omul gonadotropins were compared with analogous sequences of fish
and mammals.
