Alpha-MSH regulates intergenic splicing of MC1R and TUBB3 in human melanocytes.
Alternative splicing enables higher eukaryotes to increase their repertoire of proteins derived from a restricted number of genes. However, the possibility that functional diversity may also be augmented by splicing between adjacent genes has been largely neglected. Here, we show that the human mela...
