Abstract

Two mouse genomic DNA sequences homologous with human corticotropin-beta-lipotropin precursor gene sequences have been cloned. One of them represents the functional corticotropin-beta-lipotropin precursor gene, which exhibits a structural organization similar to those of its bovine and human counterparts. The other represents a pseudogene that corresponds to the functional mouse gene sequence encoding the carboxy-terminal 143 amino acid residues (including corticotropin and beta-lipotropin) and the 3'-untranslated region.
