Abstract excerpt
The gene FLT1 produces at least two transcripts from a common transcription start site: full-length Flt1 contains 30 exons encoding a membrane-bound VEGF receptor; soluble Flt1 (sFlt1) shares the first 13 exons but utilizes poly(A) signal sequences within intron 13 to create a transcript that lacks downstream exons. To address the mechanisms that regulate human sFlt1, we mapped the 3' end of sFlt1 mRNA and...
