Abstract excerpt

We report the molecular cloning of the human laminin alpha3b chain variant and its mRNA expression pattern in adult human tissues when compared to the alpha3a variant. The mRNA encoding for the alpha3b variant is about 11 kb and the predicted translation product carries the complete set of domain...
