The nucleotide sequence of a 1,091-base pair cloned cDNA insert encoding bovine
corticotropin-β-lipotropin precursor mRNA is reported. The corresponding amino acid
sequence indicates that the precursor protein consists of repetitive units and includes a third
melanotropin sequence in its cryptic portion. Pairs of lysine and arginine residues separate
the component peptides of the precursor.
