In addition, the total amount of a protein can be regulated by alternative splicing, which is illustrated in the current work by using the general transcription factor TBP (TATA - box binding protein) as an example.

For example, PPAM alters the molecular composition of the serotonin receptor 2C through direct binding to the pre-mRNA causing a conformational change, which makes the regulated splice site more accessible to the splicing machinery, such promoting alternative exon inclusion [86].
