Full-length sequence of the cDNA for human erythroid beta-spectrin.

1 Jul 1990

Abstract excerpt

Spectrin is the major molecular consituent of the red cell membrane skeleton. We have isolated overlapping human erythroid beta-spectrin cDNA clones and determined 6773 base pairs of contiguous nucleotide sequence. This includes the entire coding sequence of beta-spectrin. The sequence translates into a 2137 amino acid, 246-kDa peptide. beta-Spectrin is found to consist of three distinct domains. Domain I, at the...
