Schematic representation of the structural characteristics<br />

of the human CD34 antigen. The number and approximate<br />

location of the cysteine residues and N-linked glycosylation<br />

sites are based upon the full-length cDNA clones (7).<br />

Though the presence of multiple, negatively charged<br />

(heavily sialylated), Olinked glycans is well documented (6),<br />

the precise number, location (-) and complexity of them is<br />

not known. The precise locations of the serine residues<br />

phosphorylated by activated protein kinases C or other kinases<br />

(refs in 2) are not currently known. The estimate of<br />

the length of the extended NH2-terminal domain of about<br />

300 Angstroms is based upon observations of the extended<br />

extracellular domain of the similarly heavily O-glycosylated<br />

CD43 molecule (see 2).<br />
