Goodpasture Antigen-binding Protein, the Kinase That Phosphorylates the Goodpasture Antigen, Is an Alternatively Spliced Variant Implicated in Autoimmune Pathogenesis
1 Dec 2000
Abstract excerpt
The non-collagenous C-terminal domain of the alpha(3) chain of collagen IV is the autoantigen in Goodpasture disease, an autoimmune disorder described only in humans. Specific N-terminal phosphorylation is a biological feature unique to the human domain when compared with other homologous domains lacking immunopathogenic potential. We have recently cloned from a HeLa-derived cDNA library a novel serine/threonine...
