Abstract
For the first time the entire linear amino acid sequence of hPRL has been ascertained. The sequence features 198 amino acid residues, leucine at the NH2-terminus, and 6 half cystines. hPRL sequence identity with porcine, ovine, and rat PRL is 77, 73, and 60%, respectively. However, hPRL sequence identity with hGH is only 16%, and with human placental lactogen 13%.Keywords
