Cloning, characterizaion and expression of the prolactin gene in the domestic Turkey, Meleagris gallopavo

A turkey prolactin (PRL) cDNA, encoding a 199 amino acid turkey PRL (tPRL), was cloned from a pituitary library. The mature PRL shared about 70% homology with mammalian PRLs and about 30% with fish PRLs. Areas of highest homology to other PRLs were located in the carboxyl terminus of the tPRL. Prola...
