Figure 13From: Genomic structure and alternative splicing of murine R2B receptor protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPκ, μ, ρ and PCP-2) Alternative splicing of PTPκ mRNA. RT-PCR products were amplified using primers flanking exon 16 (panels A and B), exon 17a (panels C and D) and exon 20a (panels E and F). Left panels: bands in lanes 1, 2, and 3 are from human fetal brain, mouse P1 brain, and mouse P60 brain total RNA, respectively. Right panels: bands in lanes 4, 5, 6 and 7 contain total RNA from cerebellum, brain stem, basal forebrain and cortex (P23), respectively. Transcripts containing both splice forms of exons 16 and 20a were found in all lanes.Back to article page
