  • DNA encoding BEHAB, a brain hyaluronan-binding protein, and recombinant expression systems for production of BEHAB polypeptides
    Patent number: 5635370
    Abstract: A gene encoding mammalian brain enriched hyaluronan binding (BEHAB) protein is isolated and characterized from brain tissue and found to have a high degree of sequence homology to members of the proteoglycan tandem repeat family of hyaluronan binding proteins. Unlike other members of the family, however, the expression of the gene is restricted to the central nervous system. BEHAB is expressed in markedly increased levels in human glioma tissue, so that the polypeptide can be used as a marker for diagnostic purposes.
