Figure Lengend Snippet: Schematic of CUBN transcript variants. (a) Schematic representation of the known full-length CUBN transcript. A stop codon was present in the terminal exon (exon 67). (b) Schematic representation of the alternative CUBN transcript variants. Alternative splicing generates the cryptic exon in intron 28 as a new terminal exon harboring a stop codon, leading to changes in the 3′-coding and 3′ UTR sequences. This splicing variant may encode a cubilin isoform with a truncated C-terminus.
