| abstractText | Molecular cloning of rat Pax4 cDNA from a rat insulinoma cell line, RINm5F, library by PCR-based cloning strategy revealed four isoforms of the protein. Analysis of tissue distribution using Northern blotting and RT-PCR showed specific expression of Pax4 mRNA in pancreatic islets and RIN cells. RT-PCR confirmed that the mRNAs of four isoforms are expressed in RIN cells. These Pax4 variants may regulate the transcriptional activity of Pax4 during the development of pancreatic islets. |
