Isoforms of retinoic acid receptor beta expressed in the chicken embryo.
The cDNA sequences of isoforms of retinoic acid receptor beta from the chick have been determined. The sequence is different from that reported previously only in the 5' region, suggesting a product of alternative splicing and differential usage of promoters. One of them, the novel RAR-beta 4 isoform, is presumed to encode an amino-terminal truncated region A of retinoic acid receptor beta.
