Splice variants play an important role within the cell in both increasing the proteome diversity and in cellular function. Splice variants are also associated with disease states and may play a role in their etiology. 3, record 1, English, - splice%20variant

The generation of two or more different mature mRNA's from the same primary transcript through variation in the sites of splicing. It is a method of producing structurally and functionally distinct proteins from the same gene and a method of developmental regulation. 1, record 2, English, - alternative%20splicing

Expression décrivant la possibilité pour un même ARN pré-messager de subir divers épissages, conduisant à des protéines différentes selon la différenciation de la cellule (ou son état physiologique) où cet épissage est effectué. Les protéines produites à partir d’un même gène présenteront ainsi des domaines protéiques en commun. 2, record 2, French, - %C3%A9pissage%20alternatif
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT
[...] un même gène peut coder pour plusieurs protéines. En particulier, le phénomène d’épissage alternatif qui est omniprésent chez tous les eucaryotes pluricellulaires, permet de générer différentes protéines. Dans un cas au moins, il a été montré que l'épissage alternatif conduit à l'expression de protéines complètement distinctes [Alphonso et al. J. Mol. Biol. sous presse, cités dans Fields et al. 1994]. 3, record 2, French, - %C3%A9pissage%20alternatif
