Manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD)-encoding cDNAs from multiple mouse organs, including liver, kidney, brain, spleen and heart, show three sequence differences compared with the previously published mouse placenta MnSOD cDNA. The differences cause substitutions of Val(-7)-->Gly (GTG-->GGT) and Met(114)-->Val (ATG-->GTG) and a G746 deletion in the 3' untranslated region. The analysis, by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction-direct sequencing, of BALB/c mouse placenta RNA revealed the same sequence in the placenta MnSOD as that from multiple mouse organs. The data presented will be useful for wild-type sequence verification and possible point mutation detection.
