Multiple chick tropoelastin mRNAs
Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 1988 Several overlapping chick tropoelastin cDNAs were isolated from a lambda gt11 cDNA library constructed from whole 10 day chick embryo total RNA. Comparison of the nucleotide sequence of the 2.3 kb tropoelastin cDNA to the sequences published by Bressan et al. (1) and Tokimitsu et al.
