An unusual repetitive structure of caerulein mRNA from the skin of Xenopus laevis.

???displayArticle.abstract???
The nucleotide sequence of a 784-bp segment of cloned caerulein mRNA obtained from the skin of Xenopus laevis was determined. It codes for five heterogeneous procaerulein peptides interspersed with three 147-bp intercaerulein segments (ICS). The ICSs contain six inverted repeats and five eukaryotic enhancer-like sequences. Evidence for the presence of multiple forms of caerulein mRNA is presented.
