- Abstract
A cDNA coding for human prealbumin has been cloned from a cDNA library prepared from human liver. The DNA sequence codes for a polypeptide which consists of 147 amino acids including a whole human prealbumin sequence and a putative signal sequence. The elucidation of this prealbumin cDNA sequence is expected to facilitate a prenatal diagnosis of familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy.
