Abstract excerpt
In this study, we have identified novel splice variants of the Na+ channel alpha subunit mRNA from cultured rat astrocytes and neuroblastoma cells. These splice variants are characterized by premature truncation or deletion of a segment in the third domain of the Na+ channel alpha subunit. The expression of three splice variants was upregulated by exposure to 1 mM dibutyryl cAMP in spinal cord astrocytes but not...
