A novel cytoskeletal associated protein: Genomic organization and protein pattern

c-DNA clones were constructed from chicken sternal m-RNA and screened for recognizing those m-RNA species the amount of which decreases during chondrocyte dedifferentiation. One such clone was used to screen a chicken genomic library and, furthermore, to deduce peptide sequences suitable for raising antibodies. Initial results on the genomic structure and on some biochemical and immunochemical properties are presented.
