... of studies have described how changes in the expression of individual genes characterize cell types across ontogeny and phylogeny. However, little attention has been paid to the fact that different transcripts can arise from any given gene through alternative splicing (AS). Considered a key mechanism...

...Xukun Lu; Zhen-Ao Zhao; Xiaoqing Wang; Xiaoxin Zhang; Yanhua Zhai; Wenbo Deng; Zhaohong Yi; Lei Li ABSTRACT Alternative splicing (AS) and alternative promoter (AP) usage expand the repertories of mammalian transcriptome profiles and thus diversify gene functions. However, our knowledge about...

... as a result of alternative splicing. All isoforms are transmembrane proteins that differ by just one EGF-like repeat in their extracellular portion. Unlike Crb_A, which is expressed in most embryonic epithelia from early stages onward, Crb_C is expressed later and only in a subset of embryonic epithelia...
