Critical Factors in Basal Cell Adhesion Molecule/Lutheran-mediated Adhesion to Laminin
1 Jan 1999
Abstract excerpt
Basal cell adhesion molecule (B-CAM) and Lutheran (LU) are two spliceoforms of a single immunoglobulin superfamily protein containing five Ig domains and comprise the sickle (SS) red cell receptor for laminin. We have now analyzed laminin binding to murine erythroleukemia cells transfected with various human B-CAM/LU constructs. B-CAM and LU bound equally well to laminin, indicating that the longer cytoplasmic...
