5' UTR length regulates alternative N-terminal protein isoform production in health and disease

Jimmy Ly, Eric M. Smith, Matteo Di Bernardo, Yi Fei Tao, Elizabeth M. Black, Ekaterina Khalizeva, Iain M. Cheeseman

This study shows that 5' UTR length influences alternative N-terminal protein isoform production through start codon selection and demonstrates this in health and disease.
