Sequence of the porcine full-length cDNA encoding ribosomal protein rpS12.

The full-length cDNA encoding the porcine ribosomal protein rpS12 was shown to be differentially expressed in endothelial and smooth muscle cells. A cDNA clone containing the entire rpS12 sequence was isolated from growth-stimulated capillary endothelial cells by use of subtractive hybridization and differential screening. The porcine rpS12 cDNA coding region exhibits 94% identity to the rat rpS12 and 92% to the human rpS12 cDNAs.
