A cDNA clone which covers the entire coding region for the precursor of adrenodoxin was isolated from a rat adrenal cDNA library. This precursor consists of amino-terminal 64 residues of extrapeptide for transport into mitochondria and the following 124 residues of mature peptide region. The amino acid sequence of rat mature adrenodoxin showed 85-98% homology with mouse, human, chicken, porcine, bovine and sheep counterparts, whereas that of the extrapeptide showed significantly lower values.
