cDNA cloning of a new member of the FTZ-F1 subfamily from a rainbow trout

Biochim Biophys Acta. 1998 Feb 11;1395(3):271-4. doi: 10.1016/s0167-4781(97)00158-9.

Abstract

We describe here cDNA cloning of an orphan nuclear receptor family member, tFZR1, which has a FTZ-F1 box. The amino acid sequences of the zinc finger domain and the FTZ-F1 box has 92.8% and 100% identity, respectively, with those of zebrafish FTZ-F1. On the other hand, the overall homology between tFZR1 and zebrafish FTZ-F1 is low (33.0%). The results indicate that tFZR1 is a new member of fushitarazu factor 1 (FTZ-F1) subfamily.
