The 3' end cDNA sequence and amino acid sequence of the FTH (ferritin) gene from Chinese Hol- stein catt[e was cloned and analyzed to provide a theoretical basis for functional studies and its effective utiliza- tion. The 3' end cDNA was cloned from liver tissues by rapid amplification of eDNA ends (RACE), and the hioinformatics method was used to analyze the amino acid sequence. The 3' end cDNA of the FTH gene was 489 bp and it encoded a peptide of 81 amino acids. Its relative molecular weight was 9. 125 3 kD, isoelectric point was 5.19...
