Limitrin, a novel immunoglobulin superfamily protein localized to glia limitans formed by astrocyte endfeet
11 Aug 2003
Abstract excerpt
We report the molecular cloning of a new member of the transmembrane-type immunoglobulin superfamily and designate the encoded protein as limitrin, since it localized selectively to glia limitans in mouse brain. Limitrin cDNA was obtained using a subtractive hybridization procedure designed to identify molecules responsible for blood-brain barrier function. Western blots using a limitrin-specific antibody...
