Alternative splicing of protein 4.1R exon 16: ordered excision of flanking introns ensures proper splice site choice

Alternative splicing plays a major role in regulating tissue-specific expression of cytoskeletal protein 4.1R isoforms. In particular, expression of the protein's functionally critical spectrin-actin binding domain, essential for maintenance of red cell membrane mechanical properties, is govern...
