Cloning and characterization of human and rat liver cDNAs coding for a gap junction protein.

Abstract

An extended synthetic oligonucleotide (58-mer) has been used to identify and characterize a human liver gap junction cDNA. The cDNA is 1,574 bases long and contains the entire coding region for a gap junction protein. In vitro translation of the RNA products of this cDNA is consistent with it coding for a 32,022-D protein. Southern blot analysis indicates that the gap junction gene is present as a single copy, and that it can be detected in a variety of organisms using the human liver cDNA as a probe. The human cDNA has been used to screen a rat liver cDNA library, and a rat liver junction cDNA clone has been isolated. The rat liver clone is 1,127 bases in length, and it has strong sequence homology to the human cDNA in the protein-coding region, but less extensive homology in the 3'-untranslated region.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
