We examined embryonic carcinoma (EC) cells for a potential prototype molecule of C3, the third component of complement. PCR primers, corresponding to the base sequence derived from the C3 cDNA of several species, were used for PCR amplification of the EC cell cDNA. All the PCR products obtained had the same sequence and showed no sequence homology to C3. Subsequently, cDNA clones were isolated from a mouse liver cDNA library using the PCR product as a probe. Unexpectedly, neither the base sequence of the cDNA clones nor the amino acid sequence deduced from the cDNA showed homology to C3, although partial homology was observed to a number of sequences from EST databases. We designated this new clone NCU-G1. Northern hybridization experiments revealed that NCU-G1 is expressed constitutively not only in the mouse fetus but also in various mouse tissues, and is most abundant in the kidney cortex.
