A secreted truncated form of FGFR2 known as IIIa TM is produced and stable in a mouse model of Apert Syndrome. FGFR2 IIIa TM is formed from aberrant splicing of FGFR2 exon 7 (IIIa) into exon 10 (containing the transmembrane domain). In WT cells, this transcript is degraded by nonsense-mediated decay, but persists in the disease model by an unknown mechanism. FGFR IIIa TM modulates the binding of FGF1 to FGFR2 in vitro and negatively regulates FGFR2 signaling in vitro and in vivo (Wheldon et al, 2011).
