Chapter 2.20, Problem 2MQ
Summary Introduction
Cellular membrane, nucleus, and cytoplasm are the three major components of a cell. Organelles present in eukaryotes include Golgi complex, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, microfilaments and microtubules, and lysosomes. In general, eukaryotic microbes are larger and structurally highly complex compared to prokaryotes. Eukaryotic microbes include the protozoa, the algae, the

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?
