Nucleotide sequence of a cDNA clone of Xenopus platelet-derived growth factor A-chain Bruce E.Bejcek, Dean Y.Li and Thomas F.Deuel* Jewish Hospital of St Louis, 216 S. Kingshighway, St Louis, MO 63110, USA Submitted December 12, 1989
The nucleotide sequence of a cDNA clone homologous to the A-chain of the human platelet derived growth factor and isolated from a Xenopus oocyte cDNA library (1) is presented. The leader peptide is coded for by nucleotides 14-79, prepro sequences are coded for by nucleotides 80-286 and the mature protein is coded for by nucleotides 287-658. This clone is homologous
