Isolation and characterization of alternatively spliced variants of the mouse sigma1 receptor gene, Sigmar1
The sigma1 receptor acts as a chaperone at the endoplasmic reticulum, associates with multiple proteins in various cellular systems, and involves in a number of diseases, such as addiction, pain, cancer and psychiatric disorders. The sigma1 receptor is encoded by the single copy SIGMAR1 gene. The current study identifies five alternatively spliced variants of the mouse sigma1 receptor gene usin...
متن کاملAlternatively spliced androgen receptor variants.
Alternative splicing is an important mechanism for increasing functional diversity from a limited set of genes. Deregulation of this process is common in diverse pathologic conditions. The androgen receptor (AR) is a steroid receptor transcription factor with functions critical for normal male development as well as the growth and survival of normal and cancerous prostate tissue. Studies of AR ...
متن کاملFunctional characterization of alternatively spliced human SECISBP2 transcript variants
Synthesis of selenoproteins depends on decoding of the UGA stop codon as the amino acid selenocysteine (Sec). This process requires the presence of a Sec insertion sequence element (SECIS) in the 3'-untranslated region of selenoprotein mRNAs and its interaction with the SECIS binding protein 2 (SBP2). In humans, mutations in the SBP2-encoding gene Sec insertion sequence binding protein 2 (SECIS...
متن کاملIdentification and characterization of two alternatively spliced transcript variants of human liver X receptor alpha.
The liver X receptor alpha (LXRalpha) is a member of the nuclear hormone receptor superfamily that plays an important role in lipid homeostasis. Here we characterize two alternative human LXRalpha transcripts, designated LXRalpha2 and LXRalpha3. All three LXRalpha isoforms are derived from the same gene via alternative splicing and differential promoter usage. The LXRalpha2 isoform lacks the fi...
متن کاملMolecular cloning and characterization of alternatively spliced transcripts of the mouse neurofibromatosis 2 gene.
The human neurofibromatosis 2 (NF2) gene has recently been isolated and predicted to encode a novel protein named merlin. Based on its high homology to the moesin-ezrin-radixin family of proteins, it may be involved in mediating interactions between the plasma membrane and the cytoskeleton. Here we report the isolation and characterization of multiple transcript isoforms of the mouse NF2 gene. ...
