Abstract excerpt
In a previous study, we have isolated and characterized cDNA encoding a novel 'short form' of heparin-binding EGF-like growth factor (SF HB-EGF) (Loukianov et al., 1997). In the present work, we have found that cDNA for SF HB-EGF and for full-length HB-EGF are each represented by two variants, which we refer to as L and P forms. The L form is the previously known form of HB-EGF cDNA and encodes a leucine in...
