Summary Introduction
To review:
The relation between the process of aging and low weight.
Introduction:
Aging is characterized by certain structural as well as functional alterations that begin accumulating in an individual as time passes. It is a complex process that is explained by two different theories, namely mitochondrial theory and genetic theory. These theories support the idea that aging results due to a build up of free radicals and shortening of telomere length.

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?
Molecular Biology
