The mechanism of production of multiple mRNAs for human glycophorin A

The major sialoglycoprotein in the human red cell surface membrane, glycophorin A is encoded by a single gene. However, this gene gives rise to three species of glycophorin A mRNA of sizes about 1.0, 1.7 and 2.8 kilobases in reticulocytes, foetal liver cells and erythroleukaemic K562 cells. In an in...
