Summary Introduction

To review:

The reason for the faster response time in a monosynaptic reflex than the response time in a polysynaptic reflex.

Introduction:

A reflex action is an automatic and immediate action, which the body generates in response to an external stimulus. It is done by the reflex arc. Reflexes are divided into many categories based on their response, the complexity of circuit, processing, and development. On the basis of the complications in the neural circuit, the reflexes are divided into two: polysynaptic reflex and monosynaptic reflex.

Molecular Biology Question You are working to characterize a novel protein in mice. Analysis shows that high levels of the primary transcript that codes for this protein are found in tissue from the brain, muscle, liver, and pancreas. However, an antibody that recognizes the C-terminal portion of the protein indicates that the protein is present in brain, muscle, and liver, but not in the pancreas. What is the most likely explanation for this result?
