Abstract excerpt
A variant form of the Fas antigen cDNA was isolated from the rat liver. The cDNA contains an insertion sequence of 25 nucleotide residues and codes for a protein consisting of 65 amino acids representing a signal peptide and an N-terminal portion of the extracytoplasmic domain of Fas antigen. The expression of a variant mRNA species is less abundant in the liver compared with that of an ordinary mRNA species. The...
