Substances that can change alternative splice-site selection
21 May 2008
Abstract excerpt
Alternative pre-mRNA splicing is an important element in eukaryotic gene expression, as most of the protein-coding genes use this process to generate multiple protein isoforms from a single gene. An increasing number of human diseases are now recognized to be caused by the selection of 'wrong' alternative exons. Research during the last few years identified a number of low-molecular-mass chemical substances that...
