title: Alternative splicing of human insulin receptor messenger RNA.
abstract: The polymerase chain reaction has been used to examine alternative splicing of human insulin receptor (hINSR) mRNA. Alternative splicing of a 36 base pair exon, exon 11, generates hINSR transcripts encoding receptor isoforms which differ in sequence at the C-terminal end of the insulin-binding alpha-subunit. This process appears to be tissue-specific and, in addition, may be developmentally regulated.
