Abstract
We describe here cDNA cloning of an orphan nuclear receptor family mem ber, tFZR1, which has a FTZ-F1 box. The amino acid sequences of the zi nc finger domain and the FTZ-F1 box has 92.8% and 100% identity, respe ctively, with those of zebrafish FTZ-F1. On the other hand, the overal l homology between tFZR1 and zebrafish FTZ-F1 is low (33.0%). The resu lts indicate that tFZR1 is a new member of fushitarazu factor 1 (FTZ-F 1) subfamily.
