Proteins that are encoded by the same gene but differ in structure and function are the product of alternative splicing in pre-mRNA processing.Such protein variants are termed
A)isoteins.
B)heteromeric proteins.
C)isozymes.
D)protein isoforms.
E)allelomorphs.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term used to describe different protein variants produced from alternate splicing of pre-mRNA is protein isoforms. Isoteins are not a commonly used term, heteromeric proteins are composed of different subunits, isozymes are different forms of the same enzyme, and allelomorphs are different versions of the same gene.
