Structure of the gene encoding rabbit beta-casein

Gene. 1991 Jan 15;97(2):301-6. doi: 10.1016/0378-1119(91)90067-l.

Abstract

The entire rabbit beta-casein-encoding gene and 400 bp upstream were sequenced. Eight introns, located essentially at a position similar to the corresponding gene in other species, were found. Strong homology with several casein-encoding genes from rabbit and from other species was observed in the upstream region of the gene. Repeated sequences of unknown function were also located within introns.
