Brain-expressed 3’UTR extensions strengthen miRNA cross-talk between ion channel/transporter encoding mRNAs

Why protein-coding genes express transcripts with longer 3’untranslated regions (3’UTRs) in the brain rather than in other tissues remains poorly understood. Given the established role of 3’UTRs in post-transcriptional regulation of transcript abundance and their recently highlighted contributions t...
