Molecular characterization of the 56-kDa CYP153 from Acinetobacter sp. EB104.

abstract：:Analysis of a 67 kDa lipid-dependent Ca(2+)-binding protein from avian matrix vesicles revealed amino acid sequences homologous to mammalian annexin VI. PCR methods were used to identify a clone from an avian cDNA library that contained a full length copy of the 67-kDa annexin cDNA. This was restriction mapped, subclo...
