## Abstract Nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences of three β‐keratins of Nile crocodile scales are presented. Using 5′‐ and 3′‐RACE analysis, two cDNA sequences of 1 kb (Cr‐gptrp‐1) and 1.5 kb (Cr‐gptrp‐2) were determined, corresponding to 17.4 and 19.3 kDa proteins, respectively, and a pI of
