This table adopts the Bin1 exon nomenclature proposed by Wechsler-Reya et al. (356); however, one additional missing exon located between exons 6 and 7 is referred to here as exon 6a. In the recently introduced systematic nomenclature, exon 6a is renamed exon 7 and the following exons have been assigned new numbers (n + 1) with respect to the exon numbers referred to here and in the previous literature reports. The new systematic Bin1 splice isoform nomenclature and some of the exon information shown in this table was obtained from the National Center for Biotechnology Information and the U.S. National Library of Medicine, Bethesda, Md., via the following internet URL: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?db=gene&cmd=Retrieve&dopt=full_report&list_uids=274.

Superscript numbers are as follows: 1, Bin1+6a+12+13 in the text; 2, Bin1+10+13 in the text; 3, Bin1−6a+12+13 in the text; 4, Bin1−10−12+13 in the text; 5, Bin1−10−12−13 in the text. Note: Bin1+12+13 in the text refers collectively to Bin1−6a+12+13 and Bin1+6a+12+13; Bin1+12 in the text refers collectively to Bin1−6a+12+13, Bin1+6a+12+13, Bin1−6a+12−13, and Bin1+6a+12−13; Bin1+10 in the text refers collectively to Bin1+10−13 and Bin1+10+13.
