Abstract
CDNA clones coding for the medium-chain S-acyl fatty acid synthetase thioester hydrolase (thioesterase II) from rat mammary gland were identified in a bacteriophage lambda gt11 library and their nucleotide sequences were determined. The predicted coding region spans 263 amino acid residues and includes a sequence identical with that of a peptide derived from the enzyme active site. The rat thioesterase II cDNA sequence exhibits homology with that of a thioesterase found in duck uropygial glands.This publication has 22 references indexed in Scilit:
