ISOFORMS OF THE HUMAN SST5 RECEPTOR ORIGINATED BY ALTERNATIVE SPLICING AND OLIGONUCLEOTIDE PAIRS TO DETECT THEM BY PCR

摘要

The present invention is referred to two human nucleic acids that comprise sequences encoding two new isoforms of the human somatostatin receptor type 5 originated by alternative splicing, named sst5B and sst5C, with possible involvement in tumor processes. In addition, the invention is referred to oligonucleotide pairs allowing their differential detection in several tissues using the PCR technique.
