NTE-related esterase (NRE) is an insulin-regulated lysophospholipase with homology to neuropathy target esterase (NTE), which plays a role in energy metabolism. Here, we reported two alternative splicing variants of the murine NRE (mNRE) gene, termed mNREV1 and mNREV2. Genomic organization analysis indicated that 5' splice site of mNRE intron 33 was changed in both mNREV1 and mNREV2, and mNRE exon 21 was deleted in mNREV2. mNREV1 had the same protein domains with mNRE, while mNREV2 lacked the patatin domain in the C-terminal catalytic region.
