CELL-FREE SYNTHESIS OF SOMATOSTATTN

Abstract
Messenger RNA from catfish pancreatic islets was translated in a wheat germ cell-free protein synthesizing system. A protein of 12,000 mol wt, preprosomatostatin, was identified by specific immunoprecipitation with anti-catfish pancreatic somatostatin and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.
