Abstract excerpt
The microtubule-binding domain of MAP4, a ubiquitous microtubule-associated protein, contains a region rich in proline and basic residues (proline-rich region). We searched the bovine adrenal gland for MAP4 isoforms, and identified a novel variant lacking 72 consecutive amino acid residues within the proline-rich region, as compared with the full-length MAP4. The amino acid sequence of the missing region was...
