Cloning the expression of a mammalian gene involved in the reduction of methionine sulfoxide residues in proteins.

abstract：:Whole-chromosome copy number alterations, also known as aneuploidy, are associated with adverse consequences in most cells and organisms. However, high frequencies of aneuploidy have been reported to occur naturally in the mammalian liver and brain, fueling speculation that aneuploidy provides a selective advantage in...
