ABSTRACT:
Full-length cDNA clones have been isolated encoding purified augmenter of liver regeneration (ALR) polypeptides prepared from the cytosol of livers from human and from weanling rats. The 0.5 kb human ALR cDNA includes a 33 bp 5'-untranslated region, a 375 bp coding region and a 107 bp 3'-untranslated region. The cDNA encodes a protein consisting of 125 amino acids. The molecular weight of human ALR calculated from the cDNA was 15,028. A comparison of the sequences for the human ALR with those of the rat ALR shows 71% homology at the nucleotide level and 86% homology at the amino acid level. The most obvious immediate clinical use for the augmenter of liver regeneration is in the treatment of hepatic failure.
