Transcripts

Exon 43 occurs in the following Titin transcripts (the number indicates the exon rank of exon 43 in each transcript).

META	N2BA	N2B	N2A	NOVEX-1	NOVEX-2	NOVEX-3
43	43	42	43	42	42	43

Functional Data

Region: This exon occurs in the I-band region of the titin protein.

Domains: This exon codes for the following domain(s) - Ig-like 20.

PSI: The "proportion spliced-in" (an estimate of the percentage of TTN transcripts that incorporate this exon based on RNAseq data) is 100% in DCM (LV tissue of 84 end-stage patients) and 100% in GTEx (LV tissue of 105 samples from Genotype-Tissue Expression project). (See Ref. 1 for details)

Symmetry: This exon is symmetric, i.e. the length of the exon is a multiple of three and therefore removal of it will not alter the reading frame.
