Novel Kidins220/ARMS Splice Isoforms: Potential Specific Regulators of Neuronal and Cardiovascular Development
Fig 1
Expression of alternative splice isoforms of Kidins220 in adult mouse and human tissues.
(A-B) RT-PCR analyses for exons encoding the amino-terminus of Kidins220 and between exons 24 and 30 (24f-30r) were carried out on adult mouse (A) and human (B) tissue panels. Tissues are labelled by capital letters. N indicates PCR products obtained using primers designed to recognise exons 3 and 8 in mouse, and exon 9 and 13 in human. 24f-30r indicates samples obtained by amplification with primers recognising exons 24 and 30. Arrowheads point to samples in which a specific alternative splicing pattern was detected. (C-D) Schematics of Kidins220 splice isoforms identified in mouse heart and brain (C) and human brain (D) in the region encoded by exons 24 to 30.
