Cardiomyocyte cyclooxygenase-2 influences cardiac rhythm and function.

abstract：:The fact that animal introns are not spliced out in plants suggests that recognition of pre-mRNA splice sites differs between the two kingdoms. In plants, little is known about proteins required for splicing, as no plant in vitro splicing system is available. Several essential splicing factors from animals, such as SF...
