The Na'vi of Pandora have a neuronal gene (Na'vi) product that undergoes extensive post-translational processing that produces several protein products with a variety of tissue-specific expression patterns, cellular locations, and functions. Mutations that affect Na'vi expression, sorting, processing and function in specific neurons have been linked to altered skin color and height in Na'vi. Propose a mechanism by which: 1. The protein products of Na'vi can be tissue specific. 2. Na'vi can be processed and targeted to secretory vesicles.
