Nucleotide sequence of rat erythropoietin

Biochim Biophys Acta. 1992 Nov 15;1171(1):99-102. doi: 10.1016/0167-4781(92)90146-q.

Abstract

The cDNA for the rat erythropoietin (EPO) has been cloned and sequenced. The deduced amino acid sequence consists of 166 amino acid residues, which has a 79% and 95% homology with human and mouse EPOs, respectively. Many short stretches, highly conserved in primate and rodent EPOs, are found in the 3'-noncoding region when insertions and deletions are taken into consideration.
