Abstract

We demonstrate that, in rat pituitary, peptidylglycine α-amidating enzyme was encoded by at least 5 distinct mRNAs. Southern blot and ribonuclease protection analyses revealed that the mRNAs arose through alternative splicing. A variant lacking the transmembrane domain-coding sequence was a major mRNA species for the enzyme in the pituitary. When the cDNAs were expressed in COS-7 cells, the variant was the most efficient in producing a secretory form (37 kDA) of the enzyme.
