NW-BR-3 cDNA sequence and predicted amino acid sequence. The translation initiation codon and the termination codon are underlined. The RT-PCR analysis was carried out with the primers AGCGGTTTGGCACCGTACAGC and AGCTGTGTCGCCTGCCTTTGTGC. The probe for Northern blotting and nucleotide screening was generated with the primers GAAAAGGAGGCAAGGAGACAGC and TGATGCTCACGGAACTACGGTG.
