Abstract excerpt
CD46 is a member of the regulators of complement activation (RCA) family and serves to protect autologous cells from complement mediated lysis. The CD46 gene consists of 14 exons and extensive RNA splicing produces protein isoforms of different molecular weight. Predominant protein isoforms of 66 and 56 kDa arise from splicing in or out of exon 8 which encodes a region rich in serine, threonine and proline...
