Abstract

The molecular cloning and nucleotide sequencing of bovine kidney alkaline phosphatase is reported. The homology with the human enzyme is about 90% at both the nucleotide and amino acid levels. The only significant sequence differences occur at the respective C termini. The high degree of homology also extends into the 5′ and 3′ untranslated regions of the two cDNAs.
