Expression and functional characterization of ABCG1 splice variant ABCG1(666)

Expression and characterization of a human carboxylesterase 2 splice variant.

CPT-11 [7-ethyl-10-[4-(1-piperidino)-1-piperidino] carbonyloxycamptothecin or Irinotecan] is a carbamate prodrug that is activated in vivo by carboxylesterase (CES)-2 to SN-38 (7-ethyl-10-hydroxycamptothecin), a potent topoisomerase I inhibitor. There is high interindividual variation when CPT-11 is used in the treatment of colorectal cancer. Several splice variants of CES2 are reported in the ...

Identification, expression and functional characterization of M4L, a muscarinic acetylcholine M4 receptor splice variant

Rodent genomic alignment sequences support a 2-exon model for muscarinic M4 receptor. Using this model a novel N-terminal extension was discovered in the human muscarinic acetylcholine M4 receptor. An open reading frame was discovered in the human, mouse and rat with a common ATG (methionine start codon) that extended the N-terminus of the muscarinic acetylcholine M4 receptor subtype by 155 ami...

Comparison of Expression of Growth Hormone-Releasing Hormone and Its Receptor Splice Variant 1 in Different Stages of Endometriosis

Identification and functional characterization in vivo of a novel splice variant of LDLR in rhesus macaques.

In the course of developing a low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) gene therapy treatment for homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH), we planned to examine the efficacy in a nonhuman primate model, the rhesus macaque heterozygous for an LDL receptor mutation fed a high-fat diet. Unexpectedly, our initial cDNA sequencing studies led to the identification of a heretofore unidentified ...

Splice Variant Search with Gene Expression Data

Alternative splicing is the phenomena that the pre-mRNA transcript from DNA is processed into different mRNAs by spliced different types of introns. The organism can acquire proteins as many times as genes. Therefore to find such splicing variants is risen in the post genome era. We investigate a new method to detect splicing variants with the gene expression data by the oligonucleotide array t...
