Cloning and characterization of ovine insulin, insulin-like growth factor-I and -II genes

Genes encoding ovine insulin like growth factor-I (oIGF-D), -II (oIGF-II) and insulin were cloned, sequenced and characterized. The olGF-I gene contains six exons spanning greater than 30 kilobases. Class 1 and class 2 oIGF-I transcripts contained exons 1 and 2 alternatively-spliced to exon 3, respe...
