title: Isoforms of retinoic acid receptor beta expressed in the chicken embryo.
abstract: 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.
