7TM receptors: the splicing on the cake.

Abstract excerpt

Within a given family of seven transmembrane domain (7TM) receptors, functional diversity is most often afforded by the existence of multiple receptor subtypes, each encoded by a distinct gene. However, it is now clear that the existence of introns in genes encoding some members of a receptor family provides scope for additional diversity by virtue of splicing events that result in the formation of different...
