A cDNA encoding mouse stromelysin 1 was cloned and the 1740-bp sequence was determined. The deduced amino acid (aa) sequence was compared with stromelysin 1 sequences of other mammals. Comparison with a previously published incomplete aa sequence of mouse stromelysin 1 revealed three single aa differences.
