The cDNA sequence encoding the major intrinsic protein of frog lens

Gene. 1993 Feb 28;124(2):303-4. doi: 10.1016/0378-1119(93)90410-5.

Abstract

A cDNA clone encoding the frog lens major intrinsic protein (MIP) has been isolated and sequenced. The predicted protein of 28 kDa has high sequence identity and similarity to mammalian and avian lens MIP sequences. Frog lens MIP is encoded by a transcript of 4.4 kb.
