Nucleotide sequence of cloned rat serum albumin messenger RNA

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 1981 Jan;78(1):243-6. doi: 10.1073/pnas.78.1.243.

Abstract

The nucleotide sequences of the recombinant DNA inserts of three bacterial plasmid clones containing nearly all of the rat serum albumin mRNA have been determined. A statistical analysis of the nucleotide sequence reveals a pattern of repeated internal homology that confirms the "intragenic triplication" model of albumin evolution.
