Nucleotide sequence of cDNA covering the N-terminus of human tripeptidyl peptidase II.
A cDNA clone, with an insert of 3068 bp, encoding the N-terminus of human tripeptidyl peptidase II (TPP II) has been isolated and sequenced. Together with previous data (GenBank accession no J05299) a total of 4634 bp of the nucleotide sequence for TPP II can now be assembled. There is an in-frame methionine at position 8, which probably represents the starting point of translation, indicating that the complete coding sequence for TPP II now has been determined.
