abstract：:Retention of intron 8 in alternative HER-2 mRNA generates an inhibitory secreted ligand, Herstatin, with a novel receptor-binding domain (RBD) encoded by the intron. This study examines binding interactions with several receptors and investigates sequence variations in intron 8. The RBD, expressed as a peptide, binds ...
