Jh. Lim et al., A NEW SPLICING VARIANT OF A TYPE-III POU GENE FROM ZEBRAFISH ENCODES A POU PROTEIN WITH A DISTINCT C-TERMINAL, Biochimica et biophysica acta, N. Gene structure and expression, 1397(3), 1998, pp. 253-256
A zebrafish POU protein cDNA clone was isolated and sequenced. It appe
ars to be a novel splicing variant of the previously reported zebrafis
h POU gene zp-12. There are four splicing variants and at least three
of them lead to different C-terminal amino acid sequences. The four sp
licing variants are differentially regulated during development, indic
ating that they may be functionally diversified. (C) 1998 Elsevier Sci
