title: The complete cDNA coding sequence and tissue-specific expression of the mouse laminin alpha 4 chain.
abstract: The full-length cDNA coding sequence is presented for the mouse laminin alpha 4 chain. Comparison of the encoded amino acid sequence with human laminin alpha 4 shows 88.3% identity. Northern blot analysis shows that mouse laminin alpha 4 is strongly expressed in heart, lung and skeletal muscle, with only limited expression in brain, spleen, liver, kidney and testes.
