Misregulation of pre-mRNA alternative splicing in cancer.
Cancer discovery - 1 Nov 2013
Zhang Jian, Manley James L
Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Alternative splicing of mRNA precursors enables one gene to produce multiple protein isoforms with differing functions. Under normal conditions, this mechanism is tightly regulated in order for the human genome to generate proteomic diversity sufficient for the functional requirements of complex tissues. When deregulated, however, cancer cells take advantage of this mechanism to produce aberrant...
