Abstract excerpt
The BEK transmembrane protein tyrosine kinase is a receptor for both acidic and basic fibroblast growth factors. We identify several different transcripts which code for BEK-related proteins. These proteins differ from BEK in regions expected to control receptor activity. Thus, some of the proteins have altered extracellular, ligand-binding domains, and others an altered carboxy-terminal tail. Still other forms...
