Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Only little is known about the impact of amino acid substitutions outside an enzyme's active site on A and B transferase activity. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: A panel of blood group A- and B-specific plasmids containing the six known missense mutations of the coding sequence upstream of exon 6 of the ABO gene were constructed. HeLa cells were used to transfect ABO expression plasmids. RESULTS:...
