name: retinoic acid receptor RXR-alpha isoform 2 (mouse)
def: "A retinoic acid receptor RXR-alpha (mouse) that is a translation product of some mRNA whose exon structure and start site selection renders it capable of giving rise to a protein with the amino acid sequence represented by UniProtKB:Q6LC96." [PMID:8954108, PRO:KRC]
comment: Category=organism-sequence. Note: PMID:8954108 shows that RNAse protection identified the presence of the full length Rxr-alpha transcript in all tissues assayed, and a smaller transcript present in testis and at a low level in liver. RACE-PCR followed by cloning and sequencing identified the full length cDNA encoding protein isoform 1, and also two shorter cDNAs with differing 5' ends, 1 clone of Rxr-alpha-2 and 15 clones of Rxr-alpha-3. Analysis of the sequence of the alpha-2 and alpha-3 transcripts indicated that they both code for the same protein with an ATG start codon present in the sequence of exon 2.
