Banerji et al. (1990) determined the complete cDNA sequences of BAT2 and BAT3 (142590). BAT2 and BAT3 encode deduced proline-rich proteins of 2,142 and 1,132 residues with molecular masses of approximately 228 and 110 kD, respectively. The BAT2 sequence contains 4 RGD motifs, of which 3 are clustered within a 95-amino acid segment. BAT3 contains an N-terminal ubiquitin-like domain.
Banerji et al. (1990) stated that the BAT2 and BAT3 genes map within the class III region of the major histocompatibility complex on chromosome 6p21.3.
