An alternatively spliced human insulin-like growth factor-I transcript with hepatic tissue expression that diverts away from the mitogenic IBE1 peptide.

Abstract excerpt

An alternatively spliced transcript of the human insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) gene is described. The transcript was identified in human liver RNA by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction, cloning, and sequencing. It contained IGF-I exons 3 and 4, 49 basepairs of exon 5, then exon 6 (exon 4-5-6). The 5'-donor site at the exon 5-6 junction was a cryptic 5'-donor splice site (IGF633). The...
