A rat urokinase receptor (uPAR) cDNA fragment was amplified by RT-PCR from RNA of the rat osteoblastic cell line CFK-1. Using this DNA species as a hybridization probe two rat uPAR cDNAs were isolated from a CFK-1 cDNA library. These two cDNAs encode an identical uPAR protein except for a single base mutation which results in the substitution of cysteine to serine at amino acid 71 in one variant. PCR analysis of rat genomic DNA revealed the presence of an additional uPAR arising from alternate splicing which is expressed in a variety of tissues. These studies provide the tools for examining uPAR function in fibrinolysis, tumor invasion and metastasis in the rat and for identifying the mechanism of species specificity in uPA actions.
