Do you think that the alternative splicing of exons may enable a structural gene to code for several isoproteins from the same gene? If yes, how? If not, why so?

Answers (1)

In humans, about 95% of multi-exonic genes are alternatively spliced. Alternative splicing helps in generating many proteins from one and the same gene. In this process, a particular exon may be excluded from or included in a specific RNA. Splicing, which results in a single gene coding for multiple proteins, is called alternative splicing.
