Figure 1From: Acute stress alters transcript expression pattern and reduces processing of proBDNF to mature BDNF in Dicentrarchus labraxGene organization and amino acid sequence of BDNF. Panel A. Organization of BDNF gene in Dicentrarchus labrax. Exons are shown as boxes and introns as lines. Alternative start codons (ATG) as well as stop codon (TAG) were reported. Panel B. Amino acid sequences of different potential prepro-BDNF N-termini. Amino acids encoded by exon 2 are in bold and sequences encoded by alternative in frame ATG are in normal style. The transcripts encoding the respective N-termini of BDNF (i.e., 1β, 1b, 1d) are listed adjacent to the N-terminal sequences.Back to article page
