Summary for Patent: 4,963,665
Title: Human preproinsulin-like growth factor I
Abstract:The invention provides DNA sequences encoding a human preproinsulin-like growth factor I protein and novel extension peptides. A novel preproinsulin-like growth factor I protein and novel extension peptides are also provided. The present invention further provides a human IGF-I gene which has been sequenced and which encodes at least two preproinsulin-like growth factor-I proteins. Various genes and DNA sequences useful in producing essentially pure mature IGF-I, preproinsulin-like growth factor I proteins and IGF-I gene related proteins are also provided.
