Isolation and sequence determination of cDNA encoding P2 protein of human peripheral myelin

Summary A full length cDNA of P2 protein of peripheral myelin has been isolated from a cDNA library of human fetus spinal cord. The clone is 2150 base pairs (bp) in length and contains a 393 bp open reading frame encoding a polypeptide of 131 residues. The deduced amino acid sequence is highly homologous to P2 protein from other species.
