Scheme explaining the concept of a proteoform. A single gene (depicted at left) can be processed to generate different isoforms via alternative splicing of mRNA, which in combination with site-specific post-translational modifications (PTMs) and/or coding single-nucleotide polymorphism (cSNPs) that might be present in the population, generates different proteoforms (at right).
