Cloning and sequencing of a human cDNA encoding ornithine decarboxylase antizyme inhibitor.

We report here cloning and sequencing human antizyme inhibitor from a human kidney cDNA library. Amino acid sequence deduced from the nucleotide sequence shows 92.9% identity to that of rat antizyme inhibitor. Northern blot analysis reveals that antizyme inhibitor is expressed in human liver.
