Definitions for "Isoforms"
slightly different forms of the same protein encoded by a gene that yields different mRNA splice variants.
Multiple related proteins that differ in sequence due to alternate splicing of exons within a single primary RNA transcript or due to derivation from two related genes. Recent evidence indicates isoforms may also be generated by trans-splicing, a form of
Multiple forms of the same protein that differ somewhat in their amino acid sequence. They can be produced by different genes or by alternative splicing of RNA transcripts from the same gene.
Group of closely related biological molecules performing similar yet distinct cellular functions.
