Abstract:

Alternative splicing represents a mechanism by which a singlegene can be used to create proteins with different functions.Neurons use alternative splicing to produce channels with differentsequences and biophysical or regulatory properties. O'Donovanand Darnell discuss a mechanism by which neurons can alter channelsplicing in response to neuronal activity through a signal generatedby calcium and calcium/calmodulin-dependent kinase activity.
