Abstract
Type III homologies of human fibronectin are generally encoded by two exons, with the exception of the ED‐A and ED‐B repeats which are encoded by a single exon undergoing alternative splicing. We report that also the type III‐9 homology is encoded by a single exon. Further more, RT‐PCR analysis, performed on mRNA purified from fetal and adult tissues and from normal and tumor‐derived cell types, showed that the III‐9 region is not undergoing alternative splicing in all samples tested.
