Alternative Splicing Generates Different Parkin Protein Isoforms: Evidences in Human, Rat, and Mouse Brain

Figure 4

Differential detection of parkin isoforms in rat brain using five anti-parkin antibodies. (a) Representative immunoblot of parkin isoforms in rat brain visualized by using five different antibodies. Ab1, Ab2, Ab3, Ab4, and Ab5 correspond to groups #3, #4, #5, #8, and #9 of Table 5. Immunoblot for β-tubulin was used as loading control. (b) Canonical parkin sequence domains recognized by the five antibodies.
