A fragment of human gene for pregnancy-specific beta 1-glycoprotein(s), recently identified CEA family member(s), has been cloned. Analyses of nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences revealed that it carried, from 5' to 3' direction, exons IA, IB, IIA, IIB, C3, C1 and C2, the first four encoding peptides distinct from but highly similar to domains of PS beta Gs. The lack of consensus 3' splice site sequence ahead of IB indicated that it was an abortive exon, which would explain the peculiar domain construction of PS beta Gs, i.e. N-IA-IIA-IIB-C1, 2 or 3. Apparently, the multiple C-terminal sequences for a PS beta G were generated by alternative splicing among C1, C2 and C3 exons. Furthermore, sequences which overlapped partly with Cexons, were found to be similar to parts of 3'-UTR of CEA and NCA, indicating further the close relationship of CEA/NCA and PS beta G subfamily genes.
