Abstract
We provide evidence in this study that the 86-bp insert in the beta 1.2 mRNA isoform of the voltage gated sodium channel is an intron. Transcripts still retaining this intron were detected in all tissues where the beta 1 gene expression was investigated. We also show that the exon/intron boundaries of the last two introns are conserved among rat, mouse and human beta 1 gene. Unlike the highly conserved cDNAs, introns in only the rat and mouse genes are highly related. The last intron is very short (86-90 bp) and is located in the 3' untranslated sequence, both uncommon properties of mammalian pre-mRNA introns.Entities:
