Abstract excerpt
An asymptomatic shortened variant of protein 4.1 (-8.5 Kd) was first recognized in the red blood cells and designated protein 4.1 Presles. We show here that the missing segment belongs to the 22/24 Kd domain. Protein 4.1 cDNA from reticulocytes was amplified, mapped, and sequenced. The truncation appeared to result from the prevalent skipping of an individual and alternatively spliced exon, also called motif II,...
