Abstract excerpt
The enormous heterogeneity of the surface protein designated CD44 is in part due to posttranslational modification, and in part due to differential splicing. Alternative splicing occurs within one particular region encoding the extracellular portion of the protein. Comparison of various cDNA clon...
