✦ Synopsis
cDNA clones for mouse VLA (very late antigen)-3 a subunit (013 integrin) were isolated and sequenced. The encoded mouse a3 integrin subunit was composed of 1,053 amino acid residues. The results of sequence analysis revealed similar structural characteristics to other VlA 01 subunits. For example, the presence of a large extracellular domain including three putative metal binding sequences, a transmembrane domain, and a short cytoplasmic domain. A higher level of its message was detected in thymus than in kidney, stomach, spleen, liver, brain, or lung by Northern blotting analysis. L 1995 WlIey-Liss, inc.
