that protein isoforms expressed from W01A8.1 are cytoplasmic proteins, residing predominantly on membranous structures of enterocytes and epidermal cells that have the characteristics of lipid droplets.
Since using the WormBase name of W01A8.1 (MDT - 28) would be misleading, the gene is referred here by the cosmid name W01A8.1, which gives rise to at least three
protein isoforms designated W01A8.1 a, W01A8.1 b, and W01A8.1 c from at least seven different transcripts (W01A8.1 a. 1, W01A8.1 a. 2, W01A8.1 b. 1, W01A8.1 b. 2, W01A8.1 b. 3, W01A8.1 c. 1, W01A8.1 c. 2).
When the PP2A catalytic C subunit associates with the A and B subunits several
protein isoforms, namely holoenzymes, are produced with distinct activity and substrate specificity.

the protein isoforms expressed in African Americans with prostate cancer do not always respond to targeted therapies, whereas these drugs were found to be effective in European Americans with prostate cancer and do end up killing off the cancer,» said Lee.
The African American mRNA variants encode
protein isoforms that make a tumor more aggressive, whereas the
protein isoforms generated in European Americans appear to make the tumor less aggressive.
The clearest finding from proteomics experiments is that most human genes have a single main
protein isoform, while those alternative isoforms that are identified tend to be the most biologically plausible: those with the most cross-species conservation and those that do not compromise functional domains.
In 60 801 patients with coronary heart disease and 123 504 controls, OR for myocardial infarction was 0 · 96 (0 · 94 - 0 · 98; p < 0 · 0001) per 1 - SD increment in apolipoprotein (a)
protein isoform size in serum due to rs2457564, which was directionally concordant with the OR observed in PROMIS for a similar change.
