The conalbumin gene has been cloned and shown to consist of at least 17 exons approximately 60-200 base pairs long. The DNA sequence upstream from the region coding for the 5' end of the mRNA shows similarities with sequences present in homologous positions in other genes. High and low frequency repetitive sequences are found both upstream from the conalbumin gene and within one intron.
