A cDNA clone coding for human protein kinase CKI (casein kinase 1) has been isolated and sequenced demonstrating that it corresponds to a homolog of the CKla form found in bovine brain. The derived amino acid sequence of the human CKlcl is identical to the bovine counterpart except that it contains I2 extra amino acids at the carboxyl end. Using this cDNA sequence and PCR amplification, YAC genomic clones that contain this human CKla sequence have been isolated. These YACs have been used for fluorescent in situ hybridization in order to localize the human CKla gene to chromosome 13q13.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
