Abstract
We report the characterization of a cell-cell adhesion molecule identi fied by mAb BD31 on human epithelioid cells. This glycoprotein shows c adherin features but appears to be truncated being devoid of the trans membrane and cytoplasmic domains. It is directly membrane-anchored by a GPI moiety. We propose to call this molecule HT-cadherin.
