This study investigates the patterns of exon inclusion in the FAK gene across different neuronal stages. Using primers specific for FAK exons, we assess the relative expression levels of Exons 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16 in neurons. The analysis includes quantifying maximal expression values and percentages of exon inclusivity, providing insights into the regulatory mechanisms of FAK in neuronal development and function. Understanding these patterns is critical for elucidating FAK's role in neurobiology.
