From: Novel forms of Paired-like homeodomain transcription factor 2 (PITX2): Generation by alternative translation initiation and mRNA splicing

Figure 1

Schematic representation of the major isoforms of PITX2 in mouse and human. The PITX2 gene consists of 6 exons, which are depicted as boxes. The introns and flanking sequences are represented as lines connecting the boxes. The unfilled and filled boxes represent the non-coding and coding sequences, respectively. The homeodomain is indicated as a black region spanning exons 5 and 6. The solid line joins the exons present in PITX2A (top) and PITX2B (bottom) mRNAs; the broken line connects the exons present in the PITX2C mRNA. PITX2D is not pictured.
