The non-canonical function of CTCF in alternative splicing. CTCF-mediated alternative splicing occurs in a methylation-dependent manner. When exon 2 is unmethylated, CTCF can bind and will pause RNA Pol II, leading to the inclusion of the exon. When exon 2 is methylated, CTCF will not bind and the exon will be skipped.
