Abstract excerpt
Phosphatase and tensin homologue (PTEN), an inhibitor of insulin signalling, was characterized in Aedes aegypti. Surprisingly, six splice variants were identified: three with alternative terminal exons (AaegPTEN2 : 3 : 6) and three formed by intron retention (AaegPTEN1 : 4 : 5). All variants encoded active phosphatase domains. Variants with alternative terminal exons also encoded C2 and COOH-domains, and...
