Alternative splice variant of actinin-4 in small cell lung cancer.

Abstract excerpt

Tumor-associated alternative RNA splicing has gained considerable attention. We identified a novel alternative splice variant RNA of actinin-4 in human small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Expression of the splice variant was highly specific to SCLC cell lines (10/10), biopsies (3/3), and testis. The variant encoded a peptide with a three amino-acid change in exon 8, where the germline missense mutation takes place in...
