Isolation, Characterization, and Autophagy Function of BECN1-Splicing Isoforms in Cancer Cells

Isolation, Characterization, and Autophagy Function of BECN1-Splicing Isoforms in Cancer Cells

Alternative splicing allows the synthesis of different protein variants starting from a single gene. Human Beclin 1 (<i>BECN1</i>) is a key autophagy regulator that acts as haploinsufficient tumor suppressor since its decreased expression correlates with tumorigenesis and poor prognosis...
