Abstract

In order to identify important regions of the human CAML (calcium-modulating cyclophilin ligand) protein, a cDNA encoding the chicken homologue was isolated using low-stringency hybridization screening of a T-lymphocyte cDNA library. The deduced amino acid sequences of chicken and human CAML show areas of extensive conservation, suggesting an evolutionarily important role in signaling.
