Two transcripts are generated from the pancreatitis associated protein II gene by alternative splicing in the 5' untranslated region

Biochim Biophys Acta. 1995 Apr 4;1261(2):272-4. doi: 10.1016/0167-4781(95)00020-h.

Abstract

We have previously reported the coding sequence of the rat PAP II mRNA. We show in this paper the existence in rat pancreas of two forms of PAP II mRNA with identical coding sequence but a different 5'-untranslated region. We demonstrate that this is the result of a differential splicing.
