The Alternatively Spliced Isoforms of Key Molecules in the cGAS-STING Signaling Pathway

Alternative splicing of pre-mRNA increases transcriptome and proteome diversity by generating distinct isoforms that encode functionally diverse proteins, thus affecting many biological processes, including innate immunity. cGAS-STING signaling pathway, whose key molecules also undergo alternative s...
