Figure 3. Alternatively translated isoforms of Cx43.

Figure 3

Schematic showing the protein structure of full length Cx43 (GJA1-43k) and the structures of its 6 different alternatively translated isoforms (GJA1-32k, GJA1-29k, GJA1-26k, GJA1-20k, GJA1-11k and GJA1-7k). Cx43 alternative translation creates N-terminal truncated proteins lacking the respective non-translated upstream (N-terminal) portions of the Cx43 protein. The Methionine locations corresponding to the respective AUG start sites of the various Cx43 isoforms are marked by asterisks.
