023  IN Blood Group
The IN blood group system consists of 4 antigens carried on a glycoprotein (CD44) of 361 amino acids. It has a leader sequence of 20 amino acids that is sometimes cleaved. The protein is found in many different tissues and multiple tissue-specific isoforms of CD44 exist. The haemopoietic form is approximately 80kDa and encoded by exons 1-5, 15-17, 19.
