Alternative splicing isoforms of equine AXL receptor tyrosine kinase (AXL) gene. (A) Genomic structure of AXL alternative splicing variants. Equine AXL gene has 20 exons and two major alternative splicing forms; AXLa as long form and AXLb as short form. AXLb has cassette exon 11 by alternative splicing. Cassette exon is marked by dashed box (B) Sequencing of alternative splicing region. Reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) products were sequenced and confirmed that exon 11 was deleted in AXLb by alternative splicing.
