abstract：:The single-pass transmembrane domains (TMDs) of the syndecan family of cell surface adhesion molecules have been implicated in functional protein-protein interactions. Although each paralog contains a conserved GxxxG dimerization motif, we show here that the syndecan-1 TMD dimerizes weakly, the syndecan-3 and syndecan...
