We have cloned and sequenced rat cDNA that encodes the Lef-1 protein. The cDNA, containing 1194 nt exhibits 94% similarity to the mouse Lef-1 cDNA. The deduced amino-acids sequence of rat Lef-1 protein, consisting of 397 amino acids, exhibited 98% homology with the known sequence of mouse Lef-1 protein.
