Abstract
RI-HB is an extracellular heparin binding protein regulated by retinoic acid and essentially expressed during embryogenesis. This study reports the cloning and sequencing of the cDNA that encodes RI-HB. The sequence of RI-HB contains 121 amino acid residues and is very rich in basic amino acids and cysteines. This sequence was compared to those of HBGAM and MK protein, two other heparin binding proteins exhibiting growth and/or neurotrophic activities. Northern blot analysis indicates that RI-HB mRNA is strongly expressed during early chicken embryogenesis and that it is induced by retinoic acid treatment of chicken fibroblasts and myotubes in culture.Entities:
