Abstract

The complete coding sequence of the human plasma membrane calcium ATPase (PMCA) isoform 3 was determined from overlapping genomic and cDNA clones. The cDNAs for the two major alternative splice variants 3a (3CII) and 3b (3CI) code for proteins of 1173 and 1220 amino-acid residues, respectively, which show 98% identity with the corresponding rat isoforms. On a multiple human tissue Northern blot, a major PMCA3 transcript of about 7 kb was detected exclusively in the brain, demonstrating the highly restricted pattern of expression of this isoform to human neuronal tissues. With the elucidation of the human PMCA3 primary structure, complete sequence information is now available for the entire family of human PMCA isoforms.
