Abstract excerpt
A single nucleotide polymorphism that results in substitution at residue 700 of a serine (Ser-700) for an asparagine (Asn-700) in thrombospondin-1 is associated with familial premature coronary artery disease. The polymorphism is located in the first of 13 Ca2+ -binding motifs, within a consensus sequence in which Asn-700 likely coordinates Ca2+. Equilibrium dialysis of constructs comprised of the adjoining...
