Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) has many transcript variants, but whether they possess distinct function is not completely known. In the present study, we compared the function of these TRAIL variants. MAIN METHODS: A bioinformatics analysis was performed to examine potential TRAIL variants. For the functional study, over-expression of TRAIL isoforms was used to examine...
